In Intune, devices, configurations - I have in place this policy with NO conflict and no scanning happens at all when I insert a usb device (I check event viewer)

Enable Automatic Scanning of Removable Media

Allow Archive Scanning

Allow Behavior Monitoring

Allow Full Scan On Mapped Network Drives

Allow Full Scan Removable Drive Scanning

Allow scanning of all downloaded files and attachments

Allow Realtime Monitoring

Allow Scanning Network Files

Further, an examination of the regedit settings show all the above are in place.

A right-click Microsoft Defender Scan on the usb finds the test malware file

A full scan finds the test malware file

We require a quick scan on usb-insert to find it just like the right click option does.
