It should be on your Start Menu as a separate item.

You can create a desktop shortcut to "C:\Program Files\Windows
Defender\MSASCui.exe"

Good luck

I do not seem to have that file on laptop. I
downloaded it from the MS site
and had a problem with it at one time, but now I
can't find it. Guess the
same thing happened to Windows Desktop Search. I
did find that one
in the Program Files but no install in it. Thx
Microsoft.
Should I call MS and see what they suggest.

If you can't find the file MSASCui.exe on your computer then you
probably need to download the program again and reinstall it.

Go to http://download.microsoft.com , select the Windows Defender
download (#2 on the list) and choose the Run option when the download
is ready to start.

Good luck
