Why does Action Center tell me "Windows Defender needs to scan?"
It's my understanding that Defender scans according to Microsoft's maintenance schedule. But I get a notice in the Action Center that "Windows Defender needs to scan." My last scan occurred 4-5 days ago when I noticed the alert.
Is it possible that since my computer is powered down at bed time that the scheduled scan is skipped (and not started next morning when I power it up?
How often is Defender scheduled to scan?
Thanks for your help!
