Those users who have the Pro or Enterprise edition of Windows 10 can configure Windows Defender to scan USB memory sticks, USB sticks or external hard drives for viruses from the editor of the use policies following the steps shown below: In the case of Windows Defender, the truth is that the security tool has that capacity but it is something that is disabled by defaultHence, we are going to show the steps to follow to activate it. Therefore, it is convenient for our antivirus to be able to analyze this type of device before it can be infected. The fact that we are devices that we carry from one place to another and that we make use of them in different computers, makes the risk of containing some type of virus increase considerably. Luckily, in the case of Windows 10, we can use our own Windows Defender to analyze USB sticks or flash drives as shown below without having to resort to third-party tools.
