Win+X doesn’t have a “control panel” choice.
This article is sorely out-of-date with the latest version of W10

Defender’s settings are pretty sparse. How do I set it to scan within archives? To search for rootkits? Etc. MSE (which Defender basically is) used to have several options for scanning; Defender has next to none. Why?

In reply to Geoff (UK). I had the same issue. Options grayed out! Solution was to turn on via Control Panel > Security and Maintenance. There it was, waiting to be turned on.
