Windows 10: offline scan

I have Windows 1909 with Defender.
When I run the offline scan, it disappears when done and I cannot fine the results.
I looked in event viewer but I am not skilled enough to know where to go. One place seemed right but it was not intelligible to the average user.
Could someone please tell me if there is a place to find results or does it only show results if malware is detected?

Defender Periodic Scanning or Offline Scanning?

That link does suggest it's useful to use Defender offline scanning in addition to periodic scanning and a third party real time anti virus (e.g. Kaspersky).
