4.) What should you watch out for in the desktop context menu under Windows 11?

The security quick access menu options also work under Windows 11, but when you click on the desktop they only appear when you have selected "further options" or pressed the context menu key on the keyboard!

5.) ... How and why does it work so easily on Windows?




Everyone knows by now that modern applications in Windows 11, 10, ... have their unique address. By entering this URL / address in the run dialog, command prompt or PowerShell, anyone can start the associated Windows applications / settings directly.

For Windows Security / Defender, the commands look like this.

Open the start page
windowsdefender: 
Open Virus & threat protection.
windowsdefender://threat
app and browser 
control windowsdefender://appbrowser
device security
windowsdefender://devicesecurity 
notifications
windowsdefender://settings
account protection
windowsdefender://account

Firewall and network protection
windowsdefender://network

device performance
windowsdefender://perfhealth
 
family protection
options windowsdefender://family
history 
windowsdefender://history 
security provider 
windowsdefender://providers

The corresponding context menu entries  call the respective command to open the Windows security settings page to start!
