    right click scan in windows defender?


    thanks for that.. i didn't notice the tutorial section :x

    I did the suggested registry change and it's now listed on the desktop context menu.. but all this does is ask if I want to open it, update, or start a scan... I was hoping for the option where you right click a specific file and it will have listed 'scan with windows defender' like other antivirus programs have.. MSE had it. I'll keep looking around to see if I can find it in the meantime..

    You should be wary about attempting to follow any the steps in the article cited above
    <post has been deleted> since this article applies strictly to the use of the old version of Windows Defender in Windows XP.

    Here’s a troubleshooting guide that was designed for the new version of Windows Defender that’s used in Windows 10:


    Windows Defender AV event IDs and error codes

    The relevant event IDs for scans appear at the top of the list. You can just let the scan run for a while and then check to see if any events have been recorded.

    Windows Defender Antivirus Scan exclusions

    If there is anything in Windows Defender Exclusion list, then it won't be scan and if it is malicious program, it won't detect.

    It is better to remove all programs from exclusion list (if you didn't add them) and run a full system scan with Windows Defender.
