  1. Windows Defender Shortcuts.


    Good afternoon, I decided to post a new thread for this rather than in one of the Tutorials first. I have pretty much all the programs etc that I use in a Toolbar. I decided to setup a folder for Windows Defender. I wanted to first open the Scan Options Page using a Shortcut, but I was unable to find the FULL Path to it . . . Windows Security => Virus & Threats Protection => Scan Options . . . I was basically after the link from the Context Menu which takes you directly to the Scan Options Page above . . . This is the ONLY Shortcut I have NOT been able to find. I have ALL the others I want already . . . [01] Defender - Link to Scan Options: [02] Defender - Is Defender [ Process ] Running: [03] Defender - Parameters [ Properties ]: [04] Defender - Quick Scan: [05] Defender - Full Scan: [06] Defender - Custom Scan [ Folder ]: [07] Defender - Boot Sector Scan: [08] Defender - Offline Scan: [09] Defender - Clear the Downloaded Definitions Updates Cache: [10] Defender - Update the Signatures: [11] Defender - Update the Signatures and Run a Quick Scan: [12] Defender - List ALL the Quarantined Files: Thanks in advance.

    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:

    Good afternoon,

    I decided to post a new thread for this rather than in one of the Tutorials first.

    I have pretty much all the programs etc that I use in a Toolbar. I decided to setup a folder for Windows Defender. I wanted to first open the Scan Options Page using a Shortcut, but I was unable to find the FULL Path to it . . .

    Windows Defender Shortcuts.

    Screensaver shortcut

    I did this"
    Search Results

    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.Windows Defender Shortcuts. :)
