    Windows Defender Offline


    I tried to download to USB flash but encountered error code: 0007-80004005. Internet search did not help.

    Flash formatting


    Sorry, but the steps are daunting, even to just read. My USB device is brand new and never used. If I have to go through all that, I'd rather just not download the W Defender Offline tool to this device. I will just do offline scan manually on demand. Thanks!

    That's not how you do an offline scan with the WD version in Windows 10.

    It is much simpler than it was with Windows 7. You do not create any USB.

    Follow the link and scroll down to Option Three. That's the one I plan to use when I get my new notebook.

    Thank you, Try3
