Solved No more Scheduling in Windows Defender in Windows 8?
Hello. I'm seeking help on my antivirus windows defender. I love windows defender because i am really safe on the internet and it doesn't affect the performance of my PC. I have used it in windows 7 before and i know that i could set scheduled scans daily. i use this a lot because I am forgetful and forget to scan regularly. but i cant seem to find this option in the windows 8 version.
Heres what it looked like in 7: Thanks in advance.
And heres what it looks like in 8:

Thanks for your help. I was able to follow until I get to the place where you click "new task" because there isn't a button

Yes, thanks. I followed the rest and was able to do it. Why did they have to remove so many features from the windows 8 one?
