## Overview

Checks that quick scan time configuration is not required in assigned Microsoft Defender Antivirus policies.

Not required - Quick scans are replaced by real-time protection, so this setting does not need to be configured.

#### Remediation action:

1. Open [Microsoft Endpoint Manager](https://endpoint.microsoft.com) > **Endpoint Security** > **Antivirus**
2. Edit the relevant Microsoft Defender Antivirus policy
3. No action needed - this setting is not required for compliance
