Windows 10 Defender Offline Scan Does Not Respond to Clicks
In the “Virus & Threat Protection” section of Windows Security, after clicking the “Offline Scan” option, the resulting save dialog (or other related interface) becomes completely unresponsive (no processes, no error messages), preventing the scan from starting. Please provide a fix.

When the "Offline Scan" option in Windows Security's "Virus & Threat Protection" section becomes unresponsive and prevents the scan from starting, it can be caused by system issues, corrupted files, or interference from other software.
