    Windows Defender Scheduled Scan Working Since its Last Update


    I've noticed that since the last Windows Defender update that its scheduled scan runs successfully every day now. It previously would always return a result of (0x7). It would then run successfully 1 time only after a reboot. I was just wondering if anyone else that uses WD noticed this. Running Windows 10 2004 Build 19041.450 on an HP Desktop.

    Windows Defender Scheduled Scan Working Properly After Last WD Update


    Hi. I posted this earlier today but didn't see the post when I went to check it out this afternoon so I'm posting it again. Since the last Windows Defender Platform Update (Version 4.18.2008.4) I've noticed that WD Scheduled Scan Task has been running properly. Previously it would always return a result of (0x7) and would only run properly 1 time after a reboot. I'm running Windows 10 2004 Build 19041.450 on a HP Desktop. I was wondering if anyone else noticed this possible fix The issue existed for a very long time. I'm hoping that it is truly fixed.
