Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Where to restore quarantined items in Windows 10 creator update?

Nothing has changed. We still have erroneous status reports in the Full history page just like we did in the All detected items page in the classic Defender interface. If a threat doesn't appear in the Quarantined threats list on the Scan history page,
then it wasn't actually quarantined.

So we need to correct the documentation here:

On Windows Defender Antivirus for Windows 10 version 1703 and later:

• Use the Windows search box to find and open the Windows Defender Security Center
• Navigate to the Virus & threat protection > Scan history.
• Under Quarantined threats, select
  See full history

On earlier versions of Windows:

• Open Microsoft Security Essentials or Windows Defender.
• Click the History tab.
• Select Quarantined items and then View details. You might be asked for an admin password or to confirm your choice.

Once you have reviewed the quarantined items you can:

• Select Remove all to delete all quarantined software.
• Select individual files, and then click Remove or
  Restore.
