| -------- | -------- | -------- |

For example: Set-MpPreference -CheckForSignaturesBeforeRunningScan $False|

|Check for Security Intelligence Updates Before Running Scan|Disabled/Not configured (Default)|Set-MpPreference -CheckForSignaturesBeforeRunningScan `Boolean` For example: Set-MpPreference -CheckForSignaturesBeforeRunningScan $False|
119-
|Randomize Schedule Task Times|Disabled/Not configured (Default)|Set-MpPreference -RandomizeScheduleTaskTimes `Boolean` Example for physical devices: Set-MpPreference -RandomizeScheduleTaskTimes $False Example for Virtual Machines (VMs) or Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDIs) or Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD): Set-MpPreference -RandomizeScheduleTaskTimes $True Note: The default randomization time is within an interval of 30 minutes after the specified start time, if the "Scheduler Randomization Time" is also not configured. Note 2: Applies to scheduled scans.|
120-
|Scheduler Randomization Time|0/Not Configured (Default, Scheduled tasks aren't randomized)|Set-MpPreference -SchedulerRandomizationTime `UInt32` For example: Set-MpPreference -SchedulerRandomizationTime 1 Note: If Randomize Schedule Task Times is "Not configured" and "Randomize Schedule Task Times" is also set to "Not configured," then the system will use the default behavior within an interval of 30 minutes after the specific start time. Note: If you enable this setting, you must pick a randomization window in hours between 1 and 23. Note 2: Applies to scheduled scans.|
121-
|Avg CPU Load Factor|50/Not Configured (Default)|Set-MpPreference -ScanAvgCPULoadFactor `Byte` For example: Set-MpPreference -ScanAvgCPULoadFactor 50 Note: The default value is 50. The acceptable values are 5 through 100. Note 2: The lower you set it, the longer the scan takes. Note 3: If both ScanOnlyIfIdleEnabled and DisableCpuThrottleOnIdleScans are both enabled, then the value of ScanAvgCPULoadFactor is ignored. |
122-
|Start the scheduled scan only when device is on but not in use|True/Not Configured (Default)|Set-MpPreference -ScanOnlyIfIdleEnabled `Boolean` For example: Set-MpPreference -ScanOnlyIfIdleEnabled $True Note: Applies to scheduled scans.|
123-
|Disable CPU throttle on idle scans|Enabled/Not Configured (Default)|Set-MpPreference -DisableCpuThrottleOnIdleScans `Boolean` For example: Set-MpPreference -DisableCpuThrottleOnIdleScans $True Idle here means 90% of CPU utilization or below|
124-
|Enable Low CPU Priority|Disabled/Not Configured (Default)|Set-MpPreference -EnableLowCpuPriority `Boolean` For example: Set-MpPreference -EnableLowCpuPriority $False|
125-
|Disable Catchup Full Scan|Disabled/Not Configured (Default)|Set-MpPreference -DisableCatchupFullScan `Boolean` For example: Set-MpPreference -DisableCatchupFullScan $True|

|Enable full scan on battery power|Disabled/Not Configured (Default)|Set-MpPreference -EnableFullScanOnBatteryPower `Boolean` For example: Set-MpPreference -EnableFullScanOnBatteryPower $False|
