Catch-up Quick Scan should be disabled
Why This Matters
Leaving the catch-up quick scan enabled can cause excessive system load on endpoints, especially after a missed scheduled scan. This unnecessary resource consumption may slow down critical business operations or trigger false alerts. Disabling this feature ensures consistent performance while maintaining adequate antivirus coverage.
What Aether365 Checks
Aether365 verifies that the "Disable Catchup Quick Scan" policy for Microsoft Defender Antivirus is set to "Enabled" (meaning catch-up scanning is disabled). This check appears in your Aether365 dashboard under the defender category.
