Since you posted in the Windows Defender Offline (WDO) forum, I assume you’re trying to use WDO.

Be advised WDO for lack of a better word is “broke.”

I’m not employed by MS and do not know when a new version will be available.

Free independent malware scanners that are quite good include the Emsisoft Emergency Kit, Eset Online Scanner, Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool and Malwarebytes Free
