    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?

    Desktop icons gone

    Using Windows 10. All of a sudden everything turned sideways. Finally got it back to normal with help from CenturyLink @ease but not ALL my desktop icons are GONE. I've tried restoring; restarting, everything I know to do and no icon appears. Task bar
    is in tact.
