Stop me from wasting time on defender offline  

I’m good. Took a nap, woke up and shut it down restarted and went to the login screen.

- the amazing powers of taking a nap.

So problem you initially reported about scanning is now resolved?

Still installing devices. Cross your fingers.

And toes are crossed too.

Tested it this morning. The av platform version was the one that comes out of the box (not updated). It worked. I’ll do more testing this evening. Have to install software and stuff now.

I think I found out what the issue was. I fiddled with a couple drivers, meaning I installed the old ASUS/INTEL usb EHCI drivers and broke the damn offline scan. Rolling back the usb drivers got it working again. So theoretically, I could probably get the the previous OS to work by fixing the same driver. Opinions?

EHCI or AHCI? . Sure, why not try rolling back on the original install.

Still couldn’t get the old install working. So much for that.

The migration to the new install is going fine. I’m happy.
