I have cortana (whatever that is) in my list of apps but how do I get it to the task bar to make this work?

2. Click on Show search bar.

Check if this helps.

If you are on tablet mode, the search bar will not appear.

 

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?
