Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool

Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool no longer appears in my Windows Start list of programs. I believe it was there last week.

Looking at the Windows Update History:

Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool for Windows 8, 8.1, 10 and Windows Server 2012, 2012 R2, 2016 x64 Edition - January 2018 (KB890830)

Successfully installed on 1/10/2018

Where is it? Why doesn't it appear in the Windows Start? It does not appear in the Programs and Features (Control Panel).
