To perform a full virus scan on Windows 11, use these steps:

When Windows 11 is responding slow and sluggish, or you suspect that a type of malware has infected the computer, the antivirus includes three different scans (quick, custom, and full) that you can use with the Windows Security app, Command Prompt, and PowerShell. However, sometimes, you may still have to perform a full virus scan manually to ensure that nothing suspicious is infecting Windows 11. Also, the security feature can proactively protect the device against hackers and other threats. On Windows 11, Microsoft Defender Antivirus is always running in the background to detect and remove virtually any kind of malware, such as viruses, ransomware, spyware, rootkits, and others.
