Steps to Full Scan PC Using Microsoft Defender
Microsoft has renamed the Windows Defender as Microsoft Defender after Windows 10 May 2020 update, thus it’s all the same. The pre-built antivirus software comes with various types of scanning like Quick Scan, Full Scan, Custom Scan, and Offline Scan. Users can choose either of the scan based on their preferences and doubts. If you ask us, we suggest doing a Full Scan periodically, since it unearths any potential threats your Windows 10 PC is storing. Though it takes more time than other scanning types, it makes an in-depth scanning of all your drives and folders (never touching your personal data) to surface the suspicious files. Thus, here’s how to do it; The scanning time depends upon the number of files your system is having, and might also slightly depend on the type of hardware using. Since the scanning process is running in the background, you can use your computer for other tasks in the meanwhile.
