tr12345 I have Windows Defender installed on my SleekBook however it is not scanning enough files

[AWS]

  Hello:  I'm not clever enough to figure out why Windows Defender is not scanning all my files.  i have Windows 8.1 on my H.P. Envy Touch Smart m6 Sleek book.  When I try to do a custom scan it does not allow me to.  When I do a full scan,it only scans

about 64,700 files and sometimes less.  I download Microsoft's safety scanner and it scanned for a little over 3 hours and caught 1 Trojan.  That helped but it didn't change the way Windows Defender runs.  I would appreciate it if anyone knows or has an idea

as to what I should do, in order to get Windows Defender running properly.  There is also an error code when I manually check for updates. it is for Windows Defender however I failed to write it down.  I would appreciate any advice as to what I should do in

order to get Windows Defender running as it should.  Thank you for taking the time to read this and I mean no disrespect to Microsoft or any of its affiliates.
