 If you are enrolled in Windows Defender ATP, and you are not using Windows Defender AV as your real-time protection service on your endpoints, Windows Defender will automatically enter into a passive mode. On Windows Server 2016 SKUs, Windows Defender AV will not enter into the passive mode and will run alongside your other antivirus product.
 
-In passive mode, Windows Defender will continue to run (using the *msmpeng.exe* process), and will continue to be updated, however there will be no Windows Defender user interface, scheduled scans won't run, and Windows Defender will not provide real-time protection from malware.

+# The Windows Defender Security Center
+
+**Applies to**
+
+- Windows 10, version 1703
+
+
+
+
+In Windows 10, version 1703 we introduced the new Windows Defender Security Center, which brings together common Windows security features into one, easy-to-use app.
+
+
+
+
+![](images/security-center-home.png)
+
+
+
+
+Many settings that were previously part of the individual features and main Windows Settings have been combined and moved to the new app, which is installed out-of-the-box as part of Windows 10, version 1703.
+
+The app includes the settings and status for the following security features:
+
+- Virus & threat protection, including settings for Windows Defender Antivirus
+- Device performance & health, which includes information about drivers, storage space, and general Windows Update issues
+- Firewall & network protection, including Windows Firewall
+- App & browser control, covering Windows Defender SmartScreen settings
+- Family options, which include a number of parental controls along with tips and information for keeping kids safe online
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> The Windows Defender Security Center is not the same feature as the [Windows Security Center service, which provides limited antivirus, firewall, and Windows updates configuration](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457154.aspx#EDAA). Disabling that service, or configuring its associated Group Policy settings, will have no effect on the new Windows Defender Security Center.
+
+## Open the Windows Defender Security Center
+- Right-click the icon in the notification area on the taskbar and click **Open**.
+
+    ![Screen shot of the Shield icon for the Windows Defender Security Center in the bottom Windows task bar](images/security-center-taskbar.png)
+- Search the Start menu for **Windows Defender Security Center**.
+
+    ![Screen shot of the Start menu showing the results of a search for Windows Defender Security Center, the first option with a large shield symbol is selected](images/security-center-start-menu.png)
+
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Settings configured with management tools, such as Group Policy, Microsoft Intune, or System Center Configuration Manager, will generally take precedence over the settings in the Windows Defender Security Center. Review the settings for each feature in its appropriate library. Links for both home user and enterprise or commercial audiences are listed below.
+
+## How the Windows Defender Security Center works with Windows security features
+
+
+> [!IMPORTANT] 
+> Individually disabling any of the services will not disable the other services or the Windows Defender Security Center itself.
+
+The Windows Defender Security Center operates as a separate app or process from each of the individual features, and will display notifications through the Action Center. 
+
+It acts as a collector or single place to see the status and perform some configuration for each of the features.
+
+Disabling any of the individual features (through Group Policy or other management tools, such as System Center Configuration Manager) will prevent that feature from reporting its status in the Windows Defender Security Center. The Windows Defender Security Center itself will still run and show status for the other security features.
+
+For example, [using a 3rd party antivirus will disable Windows Defender Antivirus](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/threat-protection/windows-defender-antivirus/deploy-manage-report-windows-defender-antivirus). However, the Windows Defender Security Center will still run, show its icon in the taskbar, and display information about the other features, such as Windows Defender SmartScreen and Windows Firewall.
+
+The presence of the 3rd party antivirus will be indicated under the **Virus & threat protection** section in the Windows Defender Security Center.
+
+
