How To Setup Windows Defender To Automatically Scan On A Schedule

 To Set Windows Defender To Automatically Scan On Schedule 



Windows 8.x finally bundled an antivirus utility that used to be called Microsoft Security Essentials and rebranded it as Windows Defender. The only problem is that you can't easily setup automatic scheduled scans anymore.
We are guessing that they removed some of these features to make all of the other antivirus utilities happy, or maybe because theoretically real-time protection is all you need. Either way, you are probably reading this article because you want to setup a scheduled scan to run automatically.

Follow The Simple Steps To Perform A Scheduled Or Automatic Scan in Windows Defender:

Step 1: Open  the Task Scheduler. On start screen and search for "Schedule".

Step 2: Go to Task Scheduler Library > Microsoft > Windows > Windows Defender on left hand pane of the window.

Step 3: Double Click on the "Windows Defender Scheduled Scan". Choose the "Triggers" tab and press on "New" Tab.

Step 4: Set schedule now as per your convenience for an automatic scan in Windows Defender. There are variety of options to select from, starting from daily, weekly or even monthly.
