    Windows 10 Defender


    I just bought a new laptop running Windows 10. I have 2 questions about Defender. First, do I need another virus protection other than Windows Defender to guard against threats?


    Also, in Windows 7, I had to manually run a security scan once a week. Do I need to run a manual scan in Windows 10 or does Defender do that automatically? I have seen conflicting answers to this online.


    Thanks.

    Leanne

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
