Windows 10: Scanning for viruses with Windows Defender by command line

Hi!

I know that Windows Defender allows to scan for viruses by command line.
I'm using it not for simple problem - after scan (?) it closes console and I see result not.
I'm using this command:

"C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MpCmdRun.exe" -Scan -ScanType 3 -File "%1"

How to leave console opened with visible result?

Thank you for help.

After I upgraded to Win 10, I had duplicate files in the docx format and they seem to have an added extension for example FILE NAME -F708CP05

I scanned the computer using Windows Defender, AVG and Kaspersky and found no viruses.

If there is a Windows Defender off line for Win 10, give me the kink and I will try that.

What's next?

 

Why I cannot clear Windows Defender scan history?

I have tried to copy some files from a DVD to a USB flash drive. I have found that Windows Defender had identified some viruses in the DVD. I had done the recommended options, i.e., to delete the virus when other files were being copied into the drive.
Then, I removed both the DVD and the flash drive (please note that the infected files in the DVD were unable to be copied to the flash drive). When I entered the scan history, I found that two high risk viruses history was there, and I was unable to delete
their database from the history. I thought that Windows Defender might not be fully able to resolve the threat. I made a quick scan, a custom scan, a full scan, a Windows Defender offline scan, system files scan using command prompt; and found that everything
was fine. There were no viruses found in the PC. Then, why I cannot delete these high risk viruses database from the scan history? Please help.

 

Open the command prompt and paste the command in it should stay open, If you start it with the run command it will close.

To paste the command into the terminal:

Open the command prompt with admin rights

copy the command to the clipboard

Paste the command with the right click of the mouse

EDIT:
Your command does not work

Code: C:\WINDOWS\system32>"C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MpCmdRun.exe" -Scan -ScanType 3 -File "%1" CmdTool: Failed with hr = 0x80070002. Check C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Temp\MpCmdRun.log for more information[/quote] Note:
If you press the left mouse key in the terminal you will erase the clipboard contents.

 

So, this way it works not? I'm admin and owner of Program Files and Program Files (x86) folders - for problems I changed ownership.

But you're talking about using it manually.

I'm using it in menu of XYplorer and context menu (context menu of XYplorer allows to use only 32-bit menu and there is not included WD scan).
XYplorer is perfect File Explorer replacement but new version has problem with 64-bit contexxt menu...
