Windows Defender Antivirus is the security solution available on every installation of Windows 10 to protect your device and files from unwanted viruses, spyware, ransomware, and other types of malware and online threats.

The antimalware offers real-time protection functionality to detect and remove malware proactively, and you even get the option to start a scan manually. You can also schedule a Windows Defender Antivirus scan at your preferred day of the month and time to create an extra layer of security. However, it’s not an option that you can enable through the Windows Security app. Instead, it’s something that you have to configure manually using the Task Scheduler.

In this Windows 10 guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to schedule a manual scan of Windows Defender Antivirus on your computer.
