Full system scan and Quick Scan fail to launch on schedule

[REDACTED]

Why could this happen?

[REDACTED]

Just because I can assume what will be the first question I'll be asked, see below the screenshot which shows that the Full Scan is supposed to run on 2 day of each month (today is 2 Nov)

Also when I go Scan history it doesn't have there a record for the Full scan committed on Nov, 2

I suspect that you may well be getting caught up in the change of time at the end of October. How that might impact on current scheduled times I don't know.

That said it should have occurred and now be in sync. Or it may be an issue of bringing windows out of sleep, which if I remember correctly has been mentioned in the forums before.

You could try changing the time to 02:00 and see if that makes any difference.

If it's related to bringing windows out of sleep, would you please share the link for the discussion that followed with this regard, so I could browse and acquaint myself a little deeper on the on-going development?

I can confirm there is no problem with launching when computer is not in the sleep

I don't have a specific link, I can as I said I recall seeing something in the forums relating to bringing windows out of sleep to do the scan.

The problem is there are different levels of Standby, Sleep or Hibernation.

I believe the deepest level would be Hibernation. I don't use win10 so I'm not familiar with its standby settings. But on this system I don't allow it to go into standby, I just turn off the monitor after a time and hard disks after 15mins.

I used to do a scheduled scan and I never had any issue of it running, other than the change to British Daylight Savings Time. That said with an on-access, resident AV on-demand scans are much depreciated as active files are going to be scanned by the on-access scanner. So much of an on-demand scan is going to scan inert or dormant files and duplicate scans on any active files.

On Windows 10, make sure fast-boot is disabled.
Don't use standby, hibernation and such but properly shut-down the system.
