Windows Defender already checked 100,000 files, but no end in sight?

My Windows Defender has already checked over 100,000 files, but it still takes almost 5 hours before the extended check is completed. How many files are there on such a laptop?! Is that normal?

That is perfectly normal. Depending on what you have installed.

We don't know how much is on yours. With me it's a few hundred thousand. More than 1 million - but it still counts.

So how many files there are on a PC depends, of course, on the user

For me it's about 2.5 million

Ps: yes it is definitely normal that it takes a while
