Note: The settings in the previous "second, only when the computer is open but not used to start the scheduled scan will override the time set here, and "four, specify the different days of the week to run the plan Scan & rdquo; will override the "every day" here.

6. Specify a different time to run the scheduled scan every day

Double-click the configuration item to open the configuration window. As shown in the figure:

<;Help" There is a detailed description of this configuration item:

With this policy setting, you can specify a scheduled scan to be performed at different times of the day. The time value is expressed in minutes past midnight (00:00). For example, 120 (0x78) is equivalent to 02:00 AM. By default, this setting is set to the time value 2:00 AM. The plan is based on the local time on the computer that performed the scan.

If you enable this setting, scheduled scans run at the time specified each day.

If this setting is disabled or not configured, scheduled scans will run at the default time.

When the previous "type of scan specified for scheduled scan" is set to "Quick Scan", this configuration item is equivalent to "5. Specify the time to run the fast scan every day"; Otherwise, here is the time to set the "full scan", which is equivalent to adding a full scan in addition to the fast scan.

Configuration suggestion: If the previous scheduled scan type is set to "Quick scan", and "5, specify the time to run fast scan every day", you have already set it, then there is no need to set it here. The scan time can be set here only when the scan type is "full scan", and it can also be set to the time when the computer is idle.

Note: The settings in the previous "second, only when the computer is open but not used to start the scheduled scan will override the time set here, and "four, specify the different days of the week to run the plan Scan & rdquo; will override the "every day" here.

In this way, detailed scheduled scan information is set, such as requiring the computer to be turned on but not in use for scanning, and setting the time for running a quick scan, etc., so detailed and thoughtful setting information will make Windows Defender is optimally efficient.
