Windows 10: Windows 10 Windows Denfender

In Windows Defender in Windows 10. is a "custom scan" a "Full scan" ?

For eg.. I'm wanting to run a full scan on my external USB drive...


So I point to the drive in 'My Computer', right click, and "Scan with Windows Defender"


When I go into Windows defender settings, I see "Custom scan" selected which was not how it was before... So my assumption "Full scan" only applies to internal drive...


Also its noted in the progress.. and under Progress report "Quick scan" started xxx

Windows 10 Tweaks

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

definition update for windows denfender antivirus

Hi mknic,
I have literally just installed the definition update KB2267602 without any problem. I suggest as a first step checking all the Windows Defender settings to make sure they all have the 'green ticks' in each section.






ps. The only reason the 'Family Options' is not ticked is because I am the only user on my computer.

I also would suggest running the 'Troubleshoot' feature in the Update & Security settings which has a section dealing with update problems.
