Microsoft Defender Offline is a powerful offline scanning tool that runs from a trusted environment, without starting your operating system. This topic describes how to use Microsoft Defender Offline in Windows 10, Windows 8.1, and Windows 7.

When should I use Microsoft Defender Offline?

Run Microsoft Defender Offline if:

• Windows Security (named Windows Defender Security Center in previous versions of Windows) detects rootkits or other highly persistent malware on your PC and alerts you to use Microsoft Defender Offline. You might see a message stating that malware was found on your device, or receive a message in Windows Security notifying you that additional cleaning is required.

• You suspect your PC might have malware that's hiding on it, but your security software doesn’t detect anything. In this situation, you can start a Microsoft Defender Offline scan from Windows Security settings. Here's how:

1. Select Start , and then select Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security > Virus & threat protection .

2. On the Virus & threat protection screen, do one of the following:

   • In an up-to-date version of Windows 10: Under Current threats, select Scan options.

   • In previous versions of Windows: Under Threat history, select Run a new advanced scan.

3. Select Microsoft Defender Offline scan, and then select Scan now.

You'll be prompted that you're about to be signed out of Windows. After you are, your PC should restart. Microsoft Defender Offline will load and perform a quick scan of your PC in the recovery environment. When the scan has finished (usually takes about 15 minutes), your PC will automatically restart.
