Windows 11: Remove stubborn viruses with a Microsoft Defender offline scan
UPDATED 01/17/2024: Sometimes it can be very difficult to remove malware and other malicious software when you are logged into your computer. However, if you are using Windows 10, you can use the offline feature of Microsoft Defender to scan and remove all types of malware, including viruses, rootkits, ransomware, and other malicious software, no matter how stubborn they are.
The offline virus scanning feature has long been part of the Defender Antivirus solution and allows the antivirus to run without having to load Windows 10 at startup. This is particularly useful because it is extremely complicated to remove your device if it is infected with stubborn malware while Windows is fully loaded.
This guide will show you how to use the offline virus scanning feature to remove rootkits, ransomware, and other malicious viruses on Windows 10. (The offline scanning feature is also available on Windows 11.)
