Are you certain it didn't say something like XXXX files scanned?

I suggest using a Powershell cmdlet to delve a bit deeper.

Specifically:

Get-MPThreat | Format-Table -autosize

Results from my PC:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-MPThreat | Format-Table -autosize

And you can easily find other similar links.

Stay with using "Get" cmdlets and run as Admin if you have the Admin rights. Local will work and is generally safer overall.

Always nice to have some other way to look into things.

Usually the number of infected files it displays while running are fragments of files left behind.
It shows none at the finish as I'm presuming the tool removed them .
