There’s not much to explain about this addition, you simply right click on the folder, or more selected folders, you want to scan, and it will automatically run Windows Defender. This is a nice addition by Microsoft, though, because almost all bigger antivirus programs have a scan option from the context menu of a folder, and since Microsoft assures you that using Windows Defender is enough to keep your Windows 10 safe, this addition was indeed needed. On the other hand, if you’re not a fan of Windows Defender, you may, for some reason, find this new part of the context menu annoying or unnecessary. It maybe makes the context menu bigger than it should be, or whichever it is. So if you don’t want this feature, there’s a way to remove it, with a simple registry tweak.
How to Remove Windows Defender Scan Option From The Context Menu
To remove Windows Defender scan from your context menu, do the following: After deleting this registry key, Windows Defender scan option will disappear from the context menu. But, it won’t hurt if you create a backup of the registry, just in case if you want to bring it back, or something goes wrong. How do you feel about the latest update for Windows 10?
