About this tag
The Windows Defender Offline Scan tag covers discussions about using Microsoft Defender's offline scanning feature to remove persistent malware from Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems. This scan reboots the PC into a trusted environment to detect and eliminate threats that are difficult to remove while Windows is running, such as rootkits, boot-time malware, and recurring infections. Topics include enabling the offline scan, running it via Windows Security, and troubleshooting issues. The tag is relevant for users dealing with stubborn malware that evades standard real-time protection.
