Running a Full Scan with Windows Defender in Windows 10 is performing horribly. Using Symantec Endpoint Protection the scans will normally take from 20 minutes (on the systems running SSD only) and up to 2-4 hours on my file server with it's RAID5 array containing about 17TB of data. I do normally schedule a Full Scan to be ran at 05.00 ever day on my desktops and servers. Yesterday I started my very first 'Full Scan' using Windows Defender in Windows 10. But luckily I figured one can configure quite a lot using GPEdit.msc. It wasn't awesome within Microsoft Security Essentials / Forefront / Security Center Endpoint running on Windows 7, or the one within Windows 8 / 8.1 either but this time around Microsoft have basically stripped out all options. After installing all my default applications, restoring my Steam library and whatnot I decided to NOT install Symantec Endpoint Protection this time around and test out the improved Windows Defender built into Windows 10 just to see how good (or not) it might be.įirst thing I noticed is the complete lack of advanced options within in Windows 10.
I just re-installed my system using the new MSDN ISO's for Windows 10 Enterprise 64-bit from WZorNet.
