In the command line, you can manage the removable drives scan using the Removable Drives Scan predefined task (Removable_Drives_Scan).
Removable Drives Scan is stopped by default. You can start and stop this task manually. You can configure scan settings by editing the settings of this task.
If the task is running, the application monitors the connection of removable drives to the device and, when a removable drive is connected, it creates and starts a temporary boot sector scan task (task of the ODS type). This task cannot be stopped. After the task execution completes, the application automatically deletes the task.
If you enabled file scanning in the Removable Drives Scan task settings, the application also starts one or more temporary custom file scan tasks (tasks of the ODS type). If necessary, a user with administrator privileges can stop these tasks.
If you change the Removable Drives Scan task settings, the new values are not applied to temporary tasks that are already running. Stopping the Removable Drives Scan task does not stop temporary tasks that are already running.
