    Running WIndows security scan


    Earlier today i ran a Windows and virus and threat protection scan.

    It removed one threat and said there were still 11 others.


    I have just run another scan and it has still found 11 threats.

    why isn't it doing anything about them ?

    :)

    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...)

    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.

    Running WIndows security scan

    How to run a full security scan

    How do I get Windows 10 / Windows Defender to do a security scan of my computer? I can't find Windows Defender in the list of apps. I can't find an icon to click on to run a full scan.

    Thank you for information.
