    How do I get Windows Defender Scheduled Scan back in Task Scheduler?


    How do I get Windows Defender Scheduled Scan back in Task Scheduler?



    I go: Schedule tasks > Task Scheduler Library > Microsoft > Windows > Windows Defender.



    I had been messing around with the scheduler trying to make it work properly. Unfortunately, in the process I believe that I deleted the whole task (when I thought I was just deleting its properties and triggers).


    Is there any way to get Windows Defender Scheduled Scan back in the list of tasks?



    Thanks!

    Hello @mwidunn,

    I exported the Windows Defender Scheduled Scan task from my system as a Windows Defender Scheduled Scan.xml file and uploaded it below in a ZIP file for you.

    The tutorial below can show you how to import the Windows Defender Scheduled Scan.xml file once you downloaded and extracted it from the ZIP file.
