Endpoint menu missing in settings in security center

Just in case this helps anyone else. I had the same problem, I thought I had a Microsoft 365 E5 license too.

Turns out I'd purchased Office 365 E5 instead. Turns out this doesn't include Defender for Endpoint. 

Oops. 

Swapped for Microsoft 365 E5 and about a day later the Endpoints menu eventually appeared in the Security Center. 

Well done Microsoft for having such similar names for your products. Again. 

Why not just have a tiers? e.g. Microsoft 365 C1, C2 etc. for consumers and E1, .... E5 etc. for Enterprise? 

While you're at it, please do something about: 

Outlook.com   

Outlook (New)

Outlook (Classic)

We don't need two Outlook desktop apps. Just one. That works properly. You know like has Contacts that work everywhere - on phones (Android, iOS) & Desktop apps and sync across all services e.g. Google Contacts, Outlook etc.
