I have windows defender scheduled to scan every day at 2am. Now it doesnt scan automatically at all. I have to manually scan. I went back in and refreshed to scan daily at 2am. It still doesnt work. Can anyone help? Thank you in advance.

Start, Run, enter "services.msc" (without the quotes) and press Enter Sort the services however you want, but locate the Windows Defender service and double-click it to see its properties. Verify it's set to Automatic start and is running. If it is and it doesn't scan, reply back
