    What has happened to the search box on the Windows 10 task bar?


    What has happened to the search box on the Windows 10 task bar?It used to be fairly small and expanded only when searching for something. Now it's taking up useful space and has a distracting icon on the right-hand side. It now looks likeHow do I get it back to normal? I've looked various options in the settings and searched for the problem online, but so far no answers.Thanks very much in advance!

    :)

  3. 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?
