Thanks for the links... I will use MEM admin Center then as my primary tool for it. And will monitor my testing devices for few days.

Just to confirm - is my configuration OK then? I mean, "Scan Parameter" -FULL is connected to Thursday and 10 AM. And quick scan will run every day at 12 PM regardless what is configured in SCAN PARAMETER (full in my case)?

Did you manage to figure this one out ?

I'm setting mine up at the moment, and am completely confused by the following settings in the Antivirus Policy:

Scheduled Scan Time
Scheduled Quick Scan Time
Scan Parameter

The two schedule options both state this in the information section: "The scan type will depends(sic) on what scan type is selected in the Defender/ScanParameter setting" 

While "Scan Parameter" has options for QuickScan, and FullScan.... This makes having a spearate Quick scan schedule, and full scan schedule, superfluous at best, and nonsensical at worst.

I'm about to do my own tests and decipher the same confusing settings hopefully, but if you have any light to shed on how these settings are meant to be configured to have both a QuickScan AND FullScan run on a schedule within the same policy, it would be much appreciated.
