Setting Up Microsoft Defender Full Scan in Task Scheduler

[Golfinfool54]

I have successfully setup a scheduled task to run a full Microsoft Defender scan Monday/Wednesday/Friday mornings. This points at the following path to run the MpCmdRun.exe program: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Platform\4.18.2009.7-0. There are two folders in the Platform directory that were created about a month part due to updates to Microsoft Defender, each has a copy of the MpCmdRun.exe program. How often will these new folders be created and how can I keep my scheduled scan task pointed at the most current version of MpCmdRun.exe? Is there an environment variable that is updated when the folder changes (I can't find one) or some other way to determine that an update to Microsoft Defender has changed the folder for MpCmdRun.exe?


Appreciate your help with this.
