Yes that path is correct on Windows 10.

Also worth a look perhaps the PowerShell commands for Defender,

Use PowerShell to Update Windows Defender Signatures

is a page I found interesting.

From PowerShell prompt;

Get-MpComputerStatus | Select-Object *scan*

Shows some interesting stats

Hi brian,

Please navigate to "C:\Program Files\Windows Defender" open an command line and input "mpcmdrun.exe".

Best regards
