    Windows Defender is now Windows Security.

    Hello Trade1234,

    I'm Jin, a fellow Windows 10 user and an independent advisor.

    Windows Security is the re-branded name of Windows Defender Security Center. For more details about Windows Security, check this article: https://support.microsoft.com/help/4013263

    To Enable periodic scanning for threats, open Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Under Windows Defender Antivirus options > change the toggle to On.

    Kind regards.
