Prepared a document on scanning a Windows 10 workstation using Nessus Essentials. It is a free version of Nessus vulnerability scanner hence you cannot perform compliance checks. However, purpose of creating the document was to let you know how you can scan your workstation successfully. Normally, if you enter correct credentials in scan policy, authentication will be successful still the scanner will not be able to gather much data. Certain registry changes are required and few services need to be enabled for a successful scan.
Downloading and installing Nessus Essentials is good to learn but the main part is about registry changes and services. One should understand why they need to be enabled and their significance.
I have added references to videos and websites I referred in the document.
Happy Learning !!
