    laptop is missing "scan with windows defender" context menu entry

    Hello mate, *Smile

    If you have a 3rd party AV program installed, it may disable Windows Defender causing the context menu to no longer be there as well.

    If you don't, then you could see if using step 2 in the tutorial below may restore the context menu.
