Is this a joke? If the computer is off, neither Windows Defender, nor
any other program installed on it, can do *anything* at all.

If my computer has hibernated, it will wake up to record a scheduled TV
show, so perhaps your computer will wake up to run defender.
If however you did a shutdown, I don't think your computer will wake up for
a scheduled task.
You can set up a wake up time in your bios if you wanted to, assuming your
bios has that feature.

schedule a "wake up" to perform tasks, but you have to specify it, and
it will not wake up from a shutdown, only a sleep mode. The question is
whether or not there is a difference between Hibernate and sleep.
