Could some of you members who use Windows Defender on Windows 10 and or Windows 8 do a manual scan with Windows Defender updated to the latest definitions -
Quick Scan
Full Scan
Off Line Scan
Does your Windows Defender only do a limited number of files before finishing scan such as 14 or 21 files instead of thousands.
I did a Full scan and it did the same thing as a quick scan. It only took seconds and showed 11 items scanned. Something seems to be broken. I'm now doing a custom scan which seems to be running properly.
Where do you see the result of a custom scan? Mine finished when I wasn't at the computer and it just said it completed but it does't say the total amount of files scanned or the time.
Just received another update. This time Quick scan seems to be working but when i clicked Scan the file scan count was at over 1000 in the blink of an eye then seemed to scan at normal speed. Also "estimated time remaining" counter is not working properly.
