Cannot Get MSE Scheduled Scan to Run
I know this has been discussed before, but posts tend to be old and a definitive answer has eluded me.
Despite extensive fiddling, I simply cannot get the otherwise excellent Microsoft Security Essentials to run a scheduled scan. I've tried changing the date and time, scanning daily, scanning weekly, making sure the computer is on at the relevant time, and set Task Controller to wake the computer when a scan is due (it being left on standby for most of the day).
It's not a fatal problem because I get regular warnings that a scan has not been run for some time (sometimes even the day after the previous one!), and "Scan now" only takes a couple of minutes unnoticed.
Any more ideas would be welcome.
