Maria,
I'm glad to know that. The issue with blank lines seems to only happen
with people using Outlook. I tried to see why it was happening but could
never really fix it.

Faithfulness does not begin with large tasks-if it is not present in small things, it does not exist at all.

WindowsCentral.com has an article covering the various features of the
new Windows Defender Security Center in the Windows 10 Creators' Update,
which is apparently different from the Windows Defender antimalware
program. I was looking for information about this as I installed the
Creators Update today and am trying to understand how this works. For
those who are interested, here's the article.

What you need to know about the new Windows Defender Security Center in
the Creators Update
Mauro Huculak
The Creators Update introduces the Windows Defender Security Center,
which makes it easier to take control of your security settings. Here's
everything you need to know about the tool.
Although Windows 10 already offers protection against malware, malicious
code, and hackers, in the Windows 10 Creators Update Microsoft is also
introducing the new Windows Defender Security Center dashboard. This is
a new experience meant to give you an overview and provide easy-to-use
tools to keep your device protected from malware and hackers, and ensure
that it's running at top performance.
Windows Defender Security Center is a new security experience that
shouldn't be confused with the Windows Defender antivirus, which it's
part of Windows 10 but is now integrated with the new dashboard.
In this Windows 10 guide, we walk you through the features included on
the new Windows Defender Security Center dashboard.
Windows Defender Security Center
The new dashboard is easily accessible from the Start menu by typing
Windows Defender Security Center and clicking the result. Once open, you
have access to an overview and different sections of security tools.
Home
Home is the main page included in the new dashboard that gives you a
quick overview of your system health, such as Windows Defender Antivirus
scan information, firewall, and a number of other details.
On this page, you'll also see if any action needs to be taken to help
secure your device.
Virus & threat protection
The Virus & threat protection section is where you can control your
antivirus settings. If you're using the Windows Defender Antivirus built
into Windows 10, you'll be able to see scan history information, perform
quick or advanced scans, change settings, and check for new updates.
In Scan history, you'll get an overview of current threats, including
items in quarantined, threats allowed, and information about the last scan.
You can also click the Quick scan button, or click the Advanced scan
link to perform a full or custom scan, or use Windows Defender Offline
to get rid of malware that can't be removed when you're logged in.
Inside the Virus & threat protection settings page, you'll find all the
settings you can configure for the Windows Defender Antivirus, including
real-time protection and folder exclusions. These settings should look
familiar because they're the same ones you used to manage using the
Settings app.
If you're using a third-party antivirus, you'll only see limited
information and an option to launch the antivirus from this section.
Device performance & health
The Device performance & health section provides a health report of your
device, including reports for Windows Update, storage capacity, device
drivers, and battery life status.
Perhaps one of the best additions found in the Windows Defender Security
Center is Fresh Start, which is a feature that allows you to reinstall
Windows 10 with the latest updates. (This feature replaces the "Refresh
Windows" feature introduced with the Anniversary Update.)
Fresh Start will not only install an updated copy of Windows 10, it'll
keep your personal files, and some system settings, intact. However, it
also removes your apps.
Typically, you'll use the feature to improve device performance or when
things aren't working correctly.
If you want to use the tool, just click the Additional info link, click
the Get started button, follow the on-screen directions, and when you're
ready, click the Start button to begin the process.
In the Fresh Start page, you can also see the last time you ran the
tool, and clicking the See removed apps lists the apps you need to
reinstall on your device after reinstalling Windows 10.
Firewall & network protection
The Firewall & network protection section offers a view of the network
connections and basic firewall settings, and you also get access to some
troubleshooting tools.
Inside the Private (discoverable) network page, you can enable or
disable the Windows Firewall for your home network. And you also have an
option to block all incoming connections.
In the same way, inside Public (non-discoverable) network, you can
enable or disable the firewall for networks in public places, such as
coffee shops and airports, and you also have the option to block all
incoming connections.
Additionally, you'll find some links to customize the firewall settings
further, but they open the settings in Control Panel, because Microsoft
hasn't migrated all the Windows Firewall features to the new dashboard.
App & browser control
The App & browser control section lets you change settings for
SmartScreen on apps and web browsers.
Under "Check apps and files," you can control SmartScreen to help
protect your computer by checking for unrecognized files and apps you
download from the web.
The "SmartScreen for Microsoft Edge" feature allows you to change the
filtering levels to help protect your computer from malicious websites
and downloads.
Finally, the "SmartSreen for Windows Store apps" section includes
filtering options to check web content used by Store apps to protect
your device.
For the most part, you don't need to change these settings, but if you
must adjust these options, you can do it quickly from App & browser control.
Family options
The Family options section doesn't include any features that you can
configure, but it offers an easy way to access parental controls and
check devices associated with your Microsoft account.
The link under "Parental controls" takes you to the Family page in your
Microsoft account online, where you can change options for screen hours
and get activity reports for kids activities. In addition, you can also
manage purchasing settings for apps and games.
Finally, the link under "See your family's devices at a glance" allows
you to see the health and safety of all your family devices from one
location.
Settings
The Windows Defender Security Center also includes a Settings page that
is easily accessible by clicking the gear button on the bottom-left
corner of the app.
The Settings page doesn't include a lot of options, but you can quickly
turn Windows Defender Antivirus notifications on or off for recent
activity and scan results. And it's also possible to control
notifications when the Windows Firewall blocks a new app.
Wrapping things up
You can't currently configure every security aspect of Windows 10, but
the Windows Defender Security Center is a great start on an attempt to
bring all the security settings under one roof, instead of having them
scrambled across the OS.
The new experience is user-friendly, and it includes the most important
settings and information to help you stay informed and secure in an
always-connected world.
Although the Windows Defender Security Center still a work in progress,
you can expect that it'll get better with future updates.
