How to Wake Up computer to scan

[rooprd]

My computer doesn't wake up to perform the Malwarebytes scan at 3 am, so when I fire up in the morning, the scanning slows down my system (immobilizes it!) just when I want to use it. What settings can I change to have scans performed at off-hours?

Sounds like you are referring to MB for Windows. I will request this topic be moved.

Under your Settings -> Scan Schedule, you can adjust the time of the scheduled scan. Under the Advanced settings, you can also uncheck the option to start the scan if the original scan time was missed. This should prevent the issue from scanning as soon as you startup your computer.
