    WD notification icon + WD User Interface ?


    I am using Windows Defender.
    In task manager, I see both of these processes running.
    the two of them are also in startup.
    Is this normal? can and should I disable one of them in startup?

    :)

    How to Turn On or Off Windows Defender Real-time Protection in Windows 10

    The Windows Defender icon in the notification area is not a reliable method to tell if WD is running or not.
    Instead, if WD shows that it and real-time protection is turned on, then WD is running in the background(hide)

    Does Windows Defender autorun on startup in Windows 10...

    WD does start automatically and you should get a notification if it does not and you are unprotected. Why they designed not to have a Notification Area WD icon is beyond me, but it's an easy fix and good for peace of mind.
