Hi!


This is my first time using this forum, so I apologise if I get any of this wrong.


I was running Windows Defender full scan and saw it was scanning through at least 800,000 files (I cannot remember the exact figure). However, when it finished and gave me a summary of the results, it said it had only scanned 455,000 files and only took seven minutes (it took around 12-15 minutes). Is there any particular reason for this?


I currently have Windows 10 1909 installed.


Thanks


Robert
