Windows defender issues

Dear Team,

I am facing the following issues in the windows defender in Windows 8.1 Pro.

1.Scan is happening multiple times per day and its slow down the system.

2.i cant do scheduling scans in defender. but i have scheduled via task scheduler but its not starting on the

3.Scan getting stopping automatically (windows defender scan has been stopped before completion)

Is there any ways to overcome these issues?

Note : I have installed MSE because of this but i couldnt update MSE.

Regards

Microsoft Security Essentials is not supported on Windows 8.1 and you should not install it.

Try update Windows Defender and run a full system scan.

Check Windows Schedule and see how many scans been scheduled.

yes agree with Cyber_Defend_Team, In Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1, Windows Defender provides the same level of protection against malware as Microsoft Security Essentials. You can't use Microsoft Security Essentials with Windows 8 and Windows RT, but you don't need toWindows Defender is already included and ready to go
