Shortcut for Window Defender

After you receive the Windows 10 Anniversary Update (you should receive it this month) a WD icon should be inserted into the taskbar notifications area and you can easily access WD from there…you should
be able to set it to permanently appear on the taskbar. I think I’d just wait on that to occur instead of creating an app or shortcut.

See http://www.howtogeek.com/248177/whats-new-in-windows-10s-anniversary-update/

• Windows Defender now has an icon that appears in the notification area and produces more notifications by default. This makes it more clear to average Windows users that Windows 10 has a built-in antivirus protecting them. Windows
  Defender can also perform a boot-time offline scan to find and remove more nasty malware.

But if you prefer not to wait on the Anniversary Update you can always try following the suggestions here:

SEtting up automatic updates for windows defender on windows 8

I have found this on the internet en have set up a task for automatic definitions update for Windows Defender but a window pops up when this starts to run.
Is there a way to set this without any window popping up so that it just runs in the background?
