Hi All,
Still messing with with Win 10 (like every body!), I still have not found out if Secruity Essetnials installed, went to the Microsoft mother ship to see if there is anything about it, I can see the down loads for 7, 8 & 8.1 but not 10. I think it must be installed as default but I'm not sure. I click the Win 10 tab and it sends me to update to 10. Just paranoid thats all

2nd item on the left menu. Windows Defender - click ... the settings are in the right pane.

Recently, I've noticed Windows having a few fails on discoverability. How the fudge am I supposed to guess that?

As stack overflow often gets mentioned here ... I assume it would be OK to mention other places where knowledge can be shared and acquired.

It is present in Windows 10, I have ran it like 10 mins by now. 
Search for: Windows Defender.

I got back late last night from a customer location. It was a six hour drive home to recover from one of the worst planned software rollouts I have been a part of. The project already had a tight deadline when the customer moved up the launch by a full month.
It has been non-stop since mid-April on this project, during which we got very little feedback from the client despite having the application available for testing and approval for the last four months. Originally, we were to have 10 pilot sites for a month and phase in the remaining 50 sites on a schedule. Instead, we got 1 which did a really lousy job of actually using the application through a two-week test period providing very little feedback...not to mention there was not phase-in schedule and we went live with all 60 sites yesterday. 
I figured it might be a little hectic, and we might have a few hiccups, but I was totally unprepared for the onslaught of phone calls about problems they were having. Two people were fielding the back to back phone calls and bombarding me with questions and giving me post-it notes with issues, all reporting major problems with the software. It didn't take long to figure out that a database join in a stored proc was to blame...the day before, the client had asked for some of the options to be removed from a setup screen. Since those options were isolated to a database table and were no longer needed, a developer (who I shall not name here) thought it would be a good idea to comment out the code that created the record in the now defunct table...you know, save a transaction, and all that unnecessary processing...
By the time we caught the error and fixed it, the issue had been compounded when the users failed to see the new item in the list and assumed it didn't get created (can you say duplicates?) This of course, led to confusion when the real problem was corrected, only to now reveal the ugly consequences which now have to be cleaned up over the weekend...not to mention fixing quite a few programming/design flaws that helped lead to the chaos. 
I generally keep my composure, but by 4 PM (knowing I had a 6 hour drive home) I reached a breaking point and posed the rhetorical question to those with hearing distance 'Does anyone have a gun!!!'... thinking 'uh-ho, that was supposed to be my inner voice!...did I really just say that out loud?'
I suppose it could be worse...half of the sites were able to get through it without a problem.

Now I know where you work. What makes you think they ever plan anything? Just assign every task to a different underling with a minimum of information / documentation / specifications. Project management by hand waving at its best.

Not so quick! Wait until the hand wavers figure out how all this is actually your fault.

Probably the half that didn't use the system. 
I hope you use this a an 'I told you so' next time a customer doesn't play along before the next deployment.
My plan is to live forever ... so far so good

Welcome to reality.
I sometimes think users won't report problems because they fear it would make them seem foolish. Instead they give us the lame excuse that they didn't have time to test or if they did test, they didn't have time to communicate their problems.
Our most frustrating times were when they'd say, "I was doing something and it gave an error." Do you remember what you were doing? "No." Did you write down the error message? "No." Do you remember what the error message said? "No." And then they'd ask, "When will it be fixed?" (That would be when I'd want a gun)
Right behind all that (if we were doing a new version) would be, "It doesn't work like the old program." (Duh) "It's too confusing." (Because it doesn't work like the old program)
I'd rather train new people on the new program than retrain old users on the new program.

Wow,
This stuff still happens in todays world. AMAZING.
Sorry you got hit by this. But we REQUIRE an absolute code freeze for 1 week before going live.
This is for everyones safety.
Also, we schedule weekly review meetings. Their team needs to tell us what they have and have not tested/validated and signed off on. If they fail to do their part, it delays the project.
I feel for you. But I value my life and health too much to be pushed into doing things the wrong way.
I wish all IT people would push back against unreasonable customers. Nobody would demand that their wives have children in 5 months because the timing does not work for them in 9.
Best of luck.

Never could stand alcohol. My dad was a heavy drinker for a while, and now the smell of alcohol makes me very ill.

Ah, then you were born the day after (my wife and) I got married. Sorry I wasn't there; I was busy.

I'm more than double Zac's age and I not only like to celebrate the day before, but the day itself and the day after. Starting to get to the point where I need a rest in between to drink for that long now.
