Run Windows Defender scan offline in Windows 10

Security in Windows 10 is something that Microsoft has fought to increase in its system as threats grow more and more every day. That is why Windows Defender seeks to counteract this type of threat not only with constant updates but with stronger analysis methods than traditional ones. One of these exams is the Windows Defender offline scan, this type of scan has been created as an offline virus detection tool which is run using a trusted environment and without the need to start the Windows 10 operating system..

 

The key reason for this type of scan is that a large number of threats are initiated by operating system processes, thus, when scanning Windows Defender before the system loads, it is ideal for detecting these threats and eliminating them sooner. from causing damage to the system.
