Hi!
I know that Windows Defender allows to scan for viruses by command line.
I'm using it not for simple problem - after scan (?) it closes console and I see result not.
I'm using this command:
"C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MpCmdRun.exe" -Scan -ScanType 3 -File "%1"
How to leave console opened with visible result?
Thank you for help.

Open the command prompt and paste the command in it should stay open, If you start it with the run command it will close.
To paste the command into the terminal:
Open the command prompt with admin rights
copy the command to the clipboard
Paste the command with the right click of the mouse
EDIT:
Your command does not work
Note:Code:C:\WINDOWS\system32>"C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MpCmdRun.exe" -Scan -ScanType 3 -File "%1" CmdTool: Failed with hr = 0x80070002. Check C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Temp\MpCmdRun.log for more information
If you press the left mouse key in the terminal you will erase the clipboard contents.
So, this way it works not? I'm admin and owner of Program Files and Program Files (x86) folders - for problems I changed ownership.
But you're talking about using it manually.
I'm using it in menu of XYplorer and context menu (context menu of XYplorer allows to use only 32-bit menu and there is not included WD scan).
XYplorer is perfect File Explorer replacement but new version has problem with 64-bit contexxt menu...
