Windows 10: Windows Defender Shortcuts

Is there a way to create a custom shortcut to run a C:\ scan?

Also looking for a direct shortcut to the Windows defender scan logs in the Event Viewer.

Thanks

Shortcut for Window Defender

After you receive the Windows 10 Anniversary Update (you should receive it this month) a WD icon should be inserted into the taskbar notifications area and you can easily access WD from there…you should
be able to set it to permanently appear on the taskbar. I think I’d just wait on that to occur instead of creating an app or shortcut.

See http://www.howtogeek.com/248177/whats-new-in-windows-10s-anniversary-update/

• Windows Defender now has an icon that appears in the notification area and produces more notifications by default. This makes it more clear to average Windows users that Windows 10 has a built-in antivirus protecting them. Windows
  Defender can also perform a boot-time offline scan to find and remove more nasty malware.

But if you prefer not to wait on the Anniversary Update you can always try following the suggestions here:

Screensaver shortcut

I would suggest you to try the following steps and check if that helps.

• Go to the folder C:\Windows\System32 and sort by file type.
• Look for the screensaver file type (.scr).
• Find the file scrnsave.scr(you can choose any of the screensavers).
• Right click and select send to>desktop (create shortcut). The shortcut on my attachment, but when i click on it my screen goes off and on and nothing else.

I didn't see on your list using Win-X to bring up the basic setup of system tools like the original control panel, easy access to device manager, etc. not technically a list of commands, but at least a shortcut *Smile
