After the Creators update I can't find a way to do a scan in Win Defender.

Edit
Found the answer.

Geez Was so much easier with the desktop icon

Chas, I have a Defender icon in my Notification area. I just right click and 'open'.

Yes, I have both Cloud and data submission enabled.

Actually with MBAM Pro on my system defender has become secondary. Haven't had any issue so have not researched as to if I can reverse that. Defender is still enabled but serves primarily as just a scanner.
