Windows 10: MSASCuiL.exe MSASCuiL

WHAT AND WHY DID THIS SUDDENLY POP UP ON MY START UP MENU

This is the ONLY startup that I have (now anyway;- and honestly, I would prefer not to even have it as a startup- especially since Defender never "needed" a startup on my system before, it could just begin automatically after boot). Not only is it highly suspect to me that this occurs immediately after the instance of updating in which a sneaky "Diagnostics Tracking Service" was so insidiously installed right along with everything else deemed "critical", but it has single-handedly increased my BIOS time 1.2 seconds (such an increase didn't even occur when ALL 7 [S-E-V-E-N] of my other startups were enabled)....and.... AND..... AND!.... it (curiously) does not provide me with the 'open file location' option in the context menu upon right-clicking it, so as to know whether I'm dealing with a legitimate file or not.... I await your response,

please note that my frustrations are not directed at you, whomever you may be- I am appreciative for any information and/or assistance that you may have to offer, I'm just not a fan (to put it mildly) of corporate business strategies which are not exactly, shall we say, transparent nor ethically aboveboard- as such, my angst finds a way to be communicated nevertheless.

Windows 10 update - windows defender taskbar icon - NOPE.

I just got an update for my windows 10 machine last night. I turned it on today, and now there's an icon in the taskbar for Windows Defender. I'm sick of getting my machine like I like it and then Microsoft sending me BLOATWARE with every update! I use a
3rd party antivirus (like most people) and do not want to see an icon in my taskbar for a program I DO NOT USE and DO NOT WANT. No, I don't want to "hide" it and get an arrow there instead, I want Windows to stop force feeding me bloatware! I did manage to
kill it, but I should not have to go into Process Explorer, find the file name, open Program Files, find the exe file, take permissions from Trusted Installer, and then rename it! I should not have to constantly FIGHT my operating system!

But, for anyone else that wants it gone, here's the steps:

Open Program Files. Find MSASCuiL. Right-click, and go to Properties. Tab to Security. Click Edit. Select Administrators. Click Full Control checkbox. Click OK. Click OK. Go to MSASCuiL and Rename it MSASCuiLKILL (or whatever you want). This also works for
all the Windows 10 App bloatware.
