The error message "Scan error: thread 0: Please fill something in 100" typically occurs in Cheat Engine when the user attempts to perform a scan without providing a valid input value in the search box. In this context, "100" refers to the specific value you were likely trying to search for or a placeholder in the error string. Troubleshooting the Error
"Please Fill Something In" for "100 Best": This part of the error suggests that during a scan (specifically a "100 best" type scan), you're being prompted to input something. The "100 best" scan type usually requires a value to compare with in the game memory. If you're getting a prompt to fill something in and you're unsure what to do, it might be because the initial steps for setting up the scan weren't completed correctly.
Modern antivirus software (and Windows Defender) hates Cheat Engine because it behaves like a "trainer" or "trojan."

- Incorrect Scan Settings: You've configured the scan settings incorrectly, leading to a failure in the scanning process.
- Incompatible Cheat Engine Version: You're using an outdated or incompatible version of Cheat Engine with your system or the target program.
- Memory Protection: The target program or system has memory protection mechanisms that prevent Cheat Engine from accessing the memory.
- Conflict with Other Programs: Other programs or software are interfering with Cheat Engine's scanning process.
Check Scan Settings: If you are using a specialized scan type (like "All" or "Binary"), ensure the settings under Edit > Settings > Scan Settings are configured correctly. Sometimes enabling MEM_MAPPED can help if the values are stored in specific memory types.
