随着病毒、间谍软件、勒索软件等在线威胁的出现，由于所有错误的原因而受到关注——保护您的系统成为一个大问题。要主动保护您的系统和文件免受此类在线威胁，您可以使用Windows 10自己的安全解决方案，即Windows Defender。
Windows Defender Antivirus以前简称为Windows Defender ，是(Windows Defender)Windows操作系统中的内置反恶意软件组件。该软件提供实时保护，以监控、检测和删除系统中的恶意软件，并保护您的设备和文件。虽然此软件主要在系统空闲时在后台运行，但您也可以按自己的计划或随时按需运行Windows Defender Antivirus 。
Windows Defender 防病毒软件(Defender Antivirus)使您可以选择手动启动扫描或根据您的需要在特定时间安排扫描。在这个博客中，我们告诉你这是如何工作的，让我们来看看。
安排Microsoft Defender 防病毒(Microsoft Defender Antivirus)扫描
当用户在不使用时保持系统关闭或使其进入睡眠状态时，他/她仍然可以使用Windows 任务计划程序使用(Windows Task Scheduler)Windows Defender Antivirus计划扫描。要在您的设备上手动安排Defender扫描，请按照以下步骤操作。
1] 在 Windows 10 中，点击“开始”(Start’)按钮并输入“任务计划程序”(Task Scheduler’)，然后点击正确的结果或点击“ Enter”
2]在任务计划程序(Task Scheduler)窗口的左侧导航窗格中，转到以下位置：
Task Scheduler (Local) > Task Scheduler Library > Microsoft > Windows > Windows Defender
3]现在在中间窗格中，右键单击“ Windows Defender 计划扫描”(Windows Defender Scheduled Scan’)任务并选择“属性”(Properties’)
4]在“属性(Properties)”窗口中，单击“触发器”(Triggers’)选项卡
5]通过单击“新建”(New’)按钮创建(Create)一个新触发器。
6]检查是否在“开始任务”(Begin the task’)下拉菜单中选择了“按计划”(On a schedule’)选项
7]从“设置”(Settings’)选项中选择时间表
注意(Note)：用户可以将扫描设置为运行一次，也可以将定期扫描设置为每天、每周或每月。此外，使用“开始(Start)”设置，指定任务应该开始运行的时间和时间（这非常重要）。
8]现在确保选中底部出现的“启用”选项(Enabled’)
9]最后，点击“确定”(OK’)
专业提示：(Pro tip: )这里还有其他有用的选项，例如“条件”选项卡。如果您使用的是笔记本电脑，则可能需要选择“如果计算机切换到电池电源则停止”(“Stop if the computer switches to battery power”)和“仅当计算机使用交流电源时启动任务”(“Start the task only if the computer is on AC power”)选项。当系统因电池电量不足而预期关闭时，这些选项可防止任务运行。此外，“唤醒计算机以运行此任务”(“Wake the computer to run this task”)选项对于那些在不使用时让系统进入睡眠状态的人非常有用。启用此选项后，Windows会独立唤醒系统、运行扫描，并在完成后将其重新休眠。
完成这些步骤后，内置防病毒软件将使用指定的计划自动运行。立即退出任务计划程序(Task Scheduler)，完全依靠Windows Defender按照您设置的计划完成工作。
安排Windows Defender 防病毒(Windows Defender Antivirus)自定义扫描
有时内置任务无法按预期方式工作；此外，一些用户遇到错误 0x2。在这种情况下，用户可以通过使用新任务设置自定义计划来将Windows Defender设置为自动扫描。(Windows Defender)尝试以下步骤：
1]从“开始菜单”(Start Menu’)打开“任务计划程序”(Task Scheduler’)
2]右键单击“任务计划程序库”(Task Scheduler Library’)，然后从菜单中选择“新建文件夹”(New Folder’)选项。
3]键入(Type)新文件夹的自定义名称。在此示例中，我们将其设置为“ MyScanTasks ”
4]现在单击“确定”(Ok’)
5]现在展开“任务计划程序库”分支并选择您刚刚创建的防病毒任务文件夹，即“ MyScanTasks ”
6]单击(Click)窗口顶部的“操作”菜单，然后选择“创建任务”(Create Task’)
7]指定任务。
8] 在“名称”(Name’)部分，输入此任务的描述性名称。在此示例中，“我的 Windows Defender 防病毒计划任务(‘My Windows Defender Antivirus scheduled task)”
9]在“安全选项”(Security options’)部分，您可以配置可以运行任务的用户帐户
10]选中“以最高权限运行”选项。(Run with highest privileges’.)
11]现在，单击“操作”(Action’)选项卡并点击“新建”(New’)按钮
12]将(Add)Windows Defender防病毒(Windows Defender Antivirus)程序添加到任务中
13]使用“操作”(Action’)下拉菜单并选择“启动程序”(Start a program’)选项。
14] 在“设置(Settings)”部分的“Program/script”字段中，指定Windows Defender 防病毒(Windows Defender Antivirus)程序的路径：
%ProgramFiles%\Windows Defender\MpCmdRun.exe
15]在“添加参数”字段中，设置要运行的扫描类型：
-Scan -ScanType 2
16]点击“确定”(OK’)
17]现在，在“触发器”(Triggers’)选项卡中，单击“新建”(New’)并指定时间设置。设置Windows Defender使用内置任务自动扫描时，此处的步骤与上述相同。
完成这些步骤后，使用您的帐户凭据进行身份验证，然后Windows Defender 防病毒软件(Windows Defender Antivirus)将按照给定的时间表自动完成其工作。
我们希望本指南有助于帮助您安排Windows Defender 防病毒(Windows Defender Antivirus)扫描。请尝试一下并确保您的系统安全！
Run Microsoft Defender according to your own scan schedule
With onlіne іntimidatіons like viruses, spyware, rаnsomware and so on, gaining promіnence for all the wrong reasons – protection of your system becomes a huge questiоn. To actively protect your systems and filеs from such online threats you can use Windows 10’s very own ѕecurity solution i.e. Windows Defender.
Windows Defender Antivirus, earlier known simply as Windows Defender, is a built-in anti-malware software component in the Windows operating system. This software provides real-time protection to monitor, detect, and remove malware from your system and protect your device and files. While this software keeps running in the background mostly during the idle moments of your system, you too can run Windows Defender Antivirus on your own schedule or on-demand at any time.
Windows Defender Antivirus gives you the option to start a scan manually or schedule a scan at a specific time according to your needs. In this blog, we tell you how this works, let’s take a look.
Schedule a Microsoft Defender Antivirus scan
When a user keeps their system turned off when not using, or puts it to sleep – he/she can still schedule a scan with Windows Defender Antivirus using the Windows Task Scheduler. To schedule a Defender scan manually on your device, follow these steps.
1] In Windows 10, hit the ‘Start’ button and type ‘Task Scheduler’ and click on the right result or hit ‘Enter’
2] On the left-hand navigation pane of the Task Scheduler window, go down to the following location:
Task Scheduler (Local) > Task Scheduler Library > Microsoft > Windows > Windows Defender
3] Now in the middle pane, right-click on the ‘Windows Defender Scheduled Scan’ task and select ‘Properties’
4] In the Properties window, click on the ‘Triggers’ tab
5] Create a new trigger by clicking the ‘New’ button.
6] Check if ‘On a schedule’ option Is selected in the ‘Begin the task’ drop-down menu
7] Select the schedule from the ‘Settings’ option
Note: Users can set the scan to run one time or set recurring scans for a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Also, use the “Start” settings, to specify when the task should start running and the time (it is very important).
8] Now make sure the ‘Enabled’ option appearing at the bottom is checked
9] Finally, hit ‘OK’
Pro tip: There are other useful options here, like the ‘Conditions’ tab. If you are on a laptop, you might want to select the “Stop if the computer switches to battery power” and “Start the task only if the computer is on AC power” options. These options prevent the task from running when the system is expected to shut down due to low battery. In addition, the “Wake the computer to run this task” option is very useful for those who put their system to sleep when not in use. When this option is enabled, Windows independently wakes the system, runs the scan, and puts it back to sleep when done.
Once you complete these steps, the built-in antivirus will run automatically using the specified schedule. Exit Task Scheduler now and completely rely on Windows Defender to do its job on the schedule set by you.
Schedule a Windows Defender Antivirus custom scan
Sometimes the built-in task doesn’t work the way it is expected to; also, some users come across the error 0x2. In such circumstances, users can set up Windows Defender to automatically scan by setting up a custom schedule using a new task. Try the below-mentioned steps:
1] From the ‘Start Menu’ open the ‘Task Scheduler’
2] Right-click the ‘Task Scheduler Library’ and select the ‘New Folder’ option from the menu.
3] Type a custom name for the new folder. In this example, we set it as ‘MyScanTasks’
4] Now click ‘Ok’
5] Now expand the ‘Task Scheduler Library’ branch and select the antivirus task folder that you just created i.e. ‘MyScanTasks’
6] Click the ‘Action’ menu on the top of the window, and select ‘Create Task’
7] Specify the task.
8] In the ‘Name’ section, type in a descriptive name for this task. In this example, ‘My Windows Defender Antivirus scheduled task’
9] In the ‘Security options’ section, you can configure which user account can run the task
10] Check the option ‘Run with highest privileges’.
11] Now, click the ‘Action’ tab and hit the ‘New’ button
12] Add the Windows Defender Antivirus program to the task
13] Use the ‘Action’ drop-down menu and select the ‘Start a program’ option.
14] Under the ‘Settings’ section, in the ‘Program/script’ field, specify the path for the Windows Defender Antivirus program:
%ProgramFiles%\Windows Defender\MpCmdRun.exe
15] In the “Add arguments” field, lay down the type of scan you want to run:
-Scan -ScanType 2
16] Hit ‘OK’
17] Now, in the ‘Triggers’ tab, click ‘New’ and specify the time settings. The steps here are the same as the above when setting up Windows Defender to automatically scan using the built-in task.
Once you complete these steps, authenticate with your account credentials, and then the Windows Defender Antivirus will do its job automatically on the given schedule.
We hope this guide was helpful in getting you the way to schedule Windows Defender Antivirus scans. Do give it a try and keep your system safe!
