Consumer Total Protection 16.0 R31 Cannot pause scans

[srvalentine]

Before 16.0 R31, I could pause full scans. !6.0 R31 (new user interface) does not allow scan pauses, only cancel or background scan. Pausing was useful during full scans because McAfee virus scan CPU utilization prevents using the PC for anything else. Now my choices are basically cancel the full scan or wait for a full scan to complete. Full scans can tale up to 1.5 hours.

Is there a setting that will allow the pausing of the scans?

Hello @srvalentine ,

Even in R31there should be an option to pause the scan, if you are not sure kindly try to reinstll the application and then check even after that you cant find the option to pause the scan, please reply to this post along with the screenshot of the scan page.

The steps for Uninstall & Reinstall are as below.
