Same problems with Windows Defender Verification and Scan Tasks
Myself and others have posted about the problems with Windows Defender Verification and Scan Scheduled Tasks and nothing has been done about it. Tried using Feedback Hub to contact MS about it but have never gotten a response. The Verification Task creates a Windows Module Restore Point every time it runs. The Scan Task always returns a result of (0x2). A Scan Task can be created that works perfectly which myself and others have done. The only good way to handle the Verification Task is to Disable the task. Others have Disabled System Restore as a workaround which in my opinion is not the way to go! The Scan Task problem has existed for more than 2 years and the Verification Task problem started between the last day of July 2018 and August 1st 2018. There has been 2 or 3 Windows Defender Platform updates since then but issue(s) have not been addressed. I'm aware that MS has been improving on Windows Defender with sandboxing and so on but they either don't want to or don't care about correcting these issues. Creating System Restore points everytime the WD Verification Task runs makes no sense. I like and use WD on 2 machines and it seems to work well with the exception of these 2 issues.
