Hi Symp EL,
The computer needs to be running for Windows Defender to run the scan. Otherwise you will see the message. If you do have the computer running, then has the history for Windows Defender been deleted? Some 3rd party programs will have a option to delete history files for applications. (EX: CCleaner)
