So following the advice in that other thread, I looked at the WD log in the Event Viewer. I just ran a full scan, but Windows Defender apparently ran a quick scan afterwards, so there is no confirmation on the WD user interface that the full scan completed. I found out how to see the event logs for Windows Defender scans from a thread on eightforums ("Windows Defender - where are the Scan Results?").
Furthermore, when scrolling to the bottom of the screen and clicking Open Windows Defender, I get the message that "WD is turned off and not monitoring the computer." I then went to Brink's WD tutorial (Windows Defender - Turn On or Off in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums) View 3 Replies Antivirus :: Windows Defender Scan Type Index Jan 5, 2016
I would go to update&security>windows defender and find, to my surprise, that real-time protection and cloud based protection are turned on, but grayed out. So, I go to WD with the expectation that it is turned off and find that it may not be. However, I got the hankering to also keep Windows Defender up-to-date and to occasionally run its scan just to see see if anything comes up. I do a lot of browsing and haven't had any problems with this approach. I'm presently using (running) Avast Pro and Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit-Free, with weekly running of CCleaner, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and AdwCleaner. View 4 Replies Antivirus :: Turning On Windows Defender To Do A Scan Jan 15, 2016 So far I have completed 3 clean scans today but after a reboot it is as if it does not remember that I have run a scan. I run a scan but as soon as I have rebooted and within an hour or so it asks me again? I receive the notification in the taskbar and Windows Defender turns orange and states I am unprotected.

Or should I just dump Defender totally for another Free antivirus? I was using Avast for awhile but MSE was less heavy on the resources so I went with that. I got used to using MSE in Windows 7 so now i'm lost not being able to right click a file to scan it immediately. I saw a registry hack for Windows 8 but i'm not sure how to do it in Windows 10. I believe it's called adding it to the context menu. Antivirus :: Right Click Scan In Windows Defender? Aug 3, 2015
