This was available before via a reg file from one of Brink's tutorials. Nice to see it in the main stream build as it's handy to have.

The Spanish translation is a big typo. It says "scan with Windows Defender" (digitalizar con Windows Defender) as if you are using a scanner to acquire an image.

It only works if you have Windows Defender turned on. Other antivirus programs (Norton) turn Defender off and their way to scan a single file is not as convenient. Would you use Defender as your only protection?

I think Windows Defender has grown a bigger set of bawls since TH2. It's turned off my AVAST 2 times and Activated/Updated itself over the last 5 days.
Hey, if Windows Defender is just as good as Avast, Nortons, etc.. I'll just use it, since it's trying so hard to get my attention. I quit using Windows Defender back in the Windows-7 days because it never ever found a virus, yet the program was hogging RAM like crazy, while accumulating a huge batch of definition files on this P.C..
Guess it's time to do a little internet research to see if the pendulum has swung, and it's now time to replace AVAST with DEFENDER.

So after updating to Threshold 2, there's a new option in the context menu that makes it possible to quickly scan a specific file or folder with Windows Defender. As WinSuperSite writes, just right-click a file, and there's an option saying “Scan with Windows Defender.
