cannot scan separate file or folder in windows11

Hi All.

To scan separate file or folder in windows 10 in File Explorer I performed right-click on a file, selected Scan option and run scan. But in windows 11 when I right-click file or folder I didn't see Scan option. What need to do to scan file or folder in windows 11 in File Explorer?

Thanks VidMate

Windows 11

You need to use the Right Win key on your keyboard.
Or you can Right Click and then click on the
"Show more options" at the bottom of the list.
This will open the entire list of the "Context Menu".

==================================================
Below is my Context List for Windows Explorer.
Right Click folder in Windows Explorer
Give you the short list of options like:
Open
Open in new tab
Open in new window
Pin to Quick access
Pin to Start
Compress to ZIP file
Copy as path
Properties
Dropbox
Open in Terminal
TreeSize
Show more options Shift - F10
==================================================

When I click the:
"Show more options Shift - F10"
option I get the entire Right Click (context menu).

Below are a few item on my (context menu) after
clicking on "Show more options Shift - F10",

Give access to
Snagit
Restore previous versions
Combine files in Acrobat...
Include in library
Scan
Shred
Pin to Start
Uninstall with Revo Uninstaller Pro
Securely delete with Secure Eraser
WinRAR
Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office
Copy as path
Send to
Cut
Copy

The two McAfee items "Scan" and "Shred" are on the list now.

The entire Contest Menu is taller than the scree so you may need to click on the Up or Down buttons on the Right side.
