How can I check and make sure that all Windows Defender shields and protection are on/active and that everything has a green tick:
via the Windows 10's command prompt?
Edit #1:
Per @JG7's and @harrymc's answer, I tried Get-MpComputerStatus command in powershell, however I received this error output:
Get-MpComputerStatus : A general error occurred that is not covered by a more specific error code.

Use PowerShell to get the Windows Defender status information.
The command to use isGet-MpComputerStatus. It reports the status of Windows Defender services, signature versions, last update, last scan, and more.
This is the output of the command (as copied from the above link):
