Windows 10: Defender tray notification icon deleted

Hi, everyone *Biggrin

Sorry to bother for small things, by mistake in CCleaner I deleted the startup entry of Defender notification icon. I remember I have seen a reg file here, in this forum but can't find it. *Banghead
Could you be nice to help me finding it? I don't want to add an entry in Startup folder, prefer to set it like it's set after clean install.

Thank you, appreciated in advance.

Windows Defender Security Center

I got it fixed... Windows Defender is now in the Select which icons appear on the taskbar and is also in the System Tray

Press the MS key + R and enter shell:startup

Create a new short cut and enter "C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MSASCuiL.exe"

I named it Windows Defender Icon

Reboot

According to properties of MSASCuiL.exe, it is the Windows Defender notification icon

And if you don't want the notification icon, just delete the short cut

 

Defender logo

Logo?

Do you mean the icon in the notification tray?

The Defender icon will not display in the notification try at all times.

If there is an action for you to take, an alert will appear.

Do you have a system restore point you could use?

Have a look below how to show or hide the icon and hope it helps

Once you run WD Security Center, it should be restored automatically. This is what it restored for me:

Code: reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /v "WindowsDefender" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "\"%ProgramFiles%\Windows Defender\MSASCuiL.exe\"" /f[/quote]
