It runs as part of Automatic Maintenance, which IIRC runs daily when your computer is idle.

What time is set in Action Centre > Maintenance > Change Maintenance Settings?

to change the schedule for WD, all you need to do is in Search type Task Schedule
then click on Schedule Tasks
Click on Task Schedule Library
Microsoft
click on Windows Defender
Highlight the MP Schedule Scan in the middle box
and double click it
Click on the Triggers Tab
Click on Edit
change the day/time and click SAVE
that's it

Not a problem, as long as you could change the schedule is all that matters
