    I am looking for a powershell command that can flip this on and another command to get scan results once the scan is finished.

  2. Windows 10 Defender - How to make it default to task bar?

    Using Windows 10 and currently I am using Defender for anti virus. For whatever reason Windows Defender does not show up in the task bar unless I search for the program or right click and scan a file/folder. Is there a way to force Defender to show up in the task bar at start up?

    PowerShell randomly poping-up in tool bar

    Hello,

    Just to verify, do you have any scheduled tasks that uses Powershell? Scheduled tasks makes Powershell window appear periodically on your computer, therefore we suggest that you check the Task Scheduler. Here are the steps:

    • Click on Start.
    • In the search bar, type Task Scheduler and click on

      Task Scheduler
      in the results.
    • Under Active Tasks, check for any tasks that use Powershell and the scheduled time.

    If the issue still persist, we suggest that you run a Windows Defender scan to see if it will pick up any malware that the first scan missed.

    Let us know the outcome.

    Do you use Windows Defender?

    I like Windows Defender, personally. It seems really lightweight and is never annoying. It just sits in the background and works. I don't tend to run across many viruses, so it doesn't make sense to me to worry about it too much.

    I'd rate it on how paranoid you are about viruses.

    Completely Confident: No Anti-Virus programs, Windows Defender disabled.

    Somewhat Suspicious: No Real-Time protection, occasionally scan files manually. (Third party software or Windows Defender with Real-Time disabled.)

    Awfully Analytical: Light Real-Time protection from a third party program, monthly scans scheduled.

    Peak Paranoia: Heavy Real-Time protection, multiple third party programs, weekly scans.

    Edit: Also, if you are going to disable it, disable it in services.msc or through Windows Defender itself. It may think it's been "attacked" if it sees itself being disabled. Might as well look up a guide to unneeded services while you're at it. There are quite a few that people typically don't use. Remote Procedure Call? Yes. Dial Up Networking Support? No.
