In Event Viewer, Windows Defender error messages are listed. Where should I
go to find more details of the error? Is the data stored under "documents"
or something? What good are the warnings if I can't find what they mean?
Links at end of message are no help. thank you.
 
Right click the error, select Properties, ask for more information and
select Yes.

Thanks, Efrain. My original inquiry was woefully lacking. I know how to
open the message to read it. I don't know what to do with that information.
If I click on the link, I am taken to the Help & Support Center which tells
me Microsoft has no more information.

All of the messages contain something called a "Scan ID". Is there
somewhere I can find out what that list of about 20 letters and numbers
translates to?

Maybe I just shouldn't try to read the Defender information at all. But
then why is the data given to me?

Thank you
