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.

|
||||
- Windows Defender Security Center app
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
> [!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. Each of the sections described in this topic include links to configuration options for IT administrators and security operations personnel.
|
||||
|
||||
Access the Windows Defender Security Center:
|
||||
- Right-click the icon in the notification area on the taskbar and click **Open**.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
- Search the Start menu for **Windows Defender Security Center**.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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 by default 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
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The Windows Defender Security Center operates as a separate app or process from each of these individual features, and will display notifications through the Action Center.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!IMPORTANT]
|
||||
> Disabling any one of the features individually will not disable the entire Windows Defender Security Center.
|
||||
|
||||
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 Frewall.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Settings that were previously part of the Windows Defender client and main Windows Settings have been combined and moved to the new app, which is installed by default as part of Windows 10, version 1703.
|
||||
|
||||
The app also includes the settings and status of:
|
||||
|
||||
- The PC (as "device health")
|

## Comparison of settings and functions of the old app and the new app
|
||||
|
||||
All of the previous functions and settings from the Windows Defender app (in versions of Windows 10 before version 1703) are now found in the new Windows Defender Security Center app. Settings that were previously located in Windows Settings under **Update & security** > **Windows Defender** are also now in the new app.
|
||||
|
||||
The following diagrams compare the location of settings and functions between the old and new apps:

## Common tasks
|
||||
|
||||
This section describes how to perform some of the most common tasks when reviewing or interacting with the threat protection provided by Windows Defender Antivirus in the new Windows Defender Security Center app.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> If these settings are configured and deployed using Group Policy, the settings described in this section will be greyed-out and unavailable for use on individual endpoints. Changes made through a Group Policy Object must first be deployed to individual endpoints before the setting will be updated in Windows Settings. The [Configure end-user interaction with Windows Defender Antivirus](configure-end-user-interaction-windows-defender-antivirus.md) topic describes how local policy override settings can be configured.
