Limited periodic scanning is a special type of threat detection and remediation that can be enabled when another antivirus product is installed on a Windows 10 or Windows 11 device. It can only be enabled in certain situations. For more information about limited periodic scanning and how Microsoft Defender Antivirus works with other antivirus products, see [Microsoft Defender Antivirus compatibility](microsoft-defender-antivirus-compatibility.md).

If another antivirus product is installed and working correctly, Microsoft Defender Antivirus disables itself. In this case, the Windows Security app changes the **Virus & threat protection** section to show status about the antivirus product, and provides a link to the product's configuration options.

Underneath the name of a non-Microsoft antivirus product, a link appears as **Microsoft Defender Antivirus options**. Select this link to show the toggle that enables limited periodic scanning. Note that the limited periodic option is a toggle to enable or disable periodic scanning. Sliding the switch to **On** shows the standard Microsoft Defender Antivirus options underneath the non-Microsoft antivirus product. The limited periodic scanning option will appear at the bottom of the page.
