Get-MpPreference
Gets preferences for the Windows Defender scans and updates.
Syntax
Get-MpPreference
[-CimSession <CimSession[]>]
[-ThrottleLimit <Int32>]
[-AsJob]
[<CommonParameters>]
Description
The Get-MpPreference cmdlet gets preferences for the Windows Defender scans and updates. For more information about the preferences that this cmdlet retrieves, see Windows Defender Preferences Class.
Examples
Example 1: View the scheduled scan day
PS C:\> $Preferences = Get-MpPreference
PS C:\> $Preferences.ScanScheduleDay
The first command gets the preferences, and then stores them in the $Preferences variable.
The second command uses standard dot syntax to display the ScanScheduleDay property of the object stored in the $Preferences variable.
Parameters
-AsJob
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt.
You can continue to work in the session while the job completes.
To manage the job, use the *-Job
cmdlets.
To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.
For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs.

-ThrottleLimit
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet.
