Does Windows Defender Scan Boot Sector?
It’s as the title asks. Can and does it scan the boot sector stuff? I saw on a Microsoft learn page stating that it has capabilities to scan the UEFI for malware, but it mostly mentioned Defender for Endpoint, which is the enterprise/business level stuff. Does Windows 11 Home version have the same capabilities?
Also kind of asking because Defender seems to scan about 400k more files than the ESET AV free trial I download, which kind of seems like a plus to me.
