Right click menu in file explorer
With Defender I could right click on a file name in file explorer and select scan with Windows Defender. Cyber Security has taken over and now I don't seem to have an option to do that. Can cyber security do that? And if so how?

Jose,
Using File Explorer in Windows 10 - 11 and right clicking on a file produces an Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office entry but the only option there is new File Backup. No way to scan a file or folder.
This suggests a shortcoming in the product which should be fixed and individual file/folder scan implemented in the product.
Please add my vote for this feature.

There is a feature request. The code is RM-1649.
I've voted up for you both.
I tried to get an ETA and I was informed there aren't any plans to implement the feature this year.
You can monitor the release in this page: https://www.acronis.com/en-us/support/updates/
Thanks in advance!
