Show hidden icons chevron missing some individual icons…

Hi,

I seem to remember the show hidden icons chevron at the bottom right of the screen always showed a shield shaped icon with a tick confirming there was no security problems. If there was a problem the tick changed to an exclamation mark (I think I have the description right). Now the show hidden icons chevron has a ‘Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media’ and a MalwareBytes icon, nothing else, the security icon is missing.

I’ve right clicked on the task bar - selected taskbar settings – selected which icons appear on the taskbar and the Windows Security Notification Icon is selected. I have the ‘Always show all icons in the notification area’ deselected.

Would appreciate any help...
