Windows 10: Cannot Get Windows Security Manual Scan To Run

From the Windows Security screen, I am trying to run a manual scan. No matter which option I try Quick Scan or Full Scan, nothing happens. Near the top of the screen it says "No current threats" - but I have always been able to manually run a scan in the past even though it says "No current threats".

Please confirm you don't have a list like this:




e.g. from here (or via the control panel):




If not, suggests deeper problems. To which uninstall option are you referring? (A picture is worth...)

 

Windows Defender Security Center Manual Scanning Controls (Application) Location

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Thank you for the assistance.

Prior to Windows Defender Security Center update, the original Windows 10 Defender provided user manual individual file and complete computer scans with non-Windows security systems installed (Kaspersky Total Security).
Removal or disabling the Kaspersky Total Security program before making a Windows 10 Defender user enacted manual scan was not a prerequisite or requirement.



The upgrade Windows Defender Security Center software does provide user manual scans with the
Kaspersky Total Security System enabled, but it is enacted outside the actual Windows Defender Security Center controlling screen.



Please Perform the following Windows 10 Computer Steps:



1. Open File Explore.

2. Highlight (right click), but not activate an individual file (PDF, DOCX, etc.) or computer drive (C: etc.).

3. Right click the highlighted file or drive.

4. A drop box of options/actions are provided.

5. Click on option "Scan with Windows Defender."

6. From the Windows Defender Security Center "Advance Scan" screen, Windows Defender is activated and the file or drive is scanned.

7. Scanning process ends with provided results.

8. Left side of Advance Scan screen, click on "Home" icon.

9. Windows Defender Security Center home screen is provided, but there is no provision for starting a Defender scan on this page.

10. To enact a new scan, repeat steps 1. thru 7



Even though a non-Windows security program is installed and active, the new Windows 10 Defender will provide user enacted manual scans.



The question is how to active a scan from the Windows Defender Security Center or form a shortcut icon, app, etc.?



Please consider what is present and provide the method of accessing the Defender scanning process without going through the above computer steps all the time.



Thank you -- Awaiting inputs.

Yes that's exactly what I have. If you notice there is an uninstall option next to organize if you scroll to other updates ie. office, but it will disappear once you scroll to the latest updates.
