    Windows Defender notification icon activity is always started twice


    Hi

    I have Windows 10 v1709 Enterprise 64 bit and I noticed that if, after logging in, I display the Start tab in Task Management, the Windows Defender notification icon activity is always started twice. Why?

    Thanks

    Bye

    :)

    Stop store games opening in full screen?

    The culprit was "Windows Defender notification icon" which actually appears twice in the Task Manager Start-up display despite the fact that I have de-activated Windows Defender.

    I have disabled both entries and that has solved the problem.

    Windows Defender not shown in Tray

    Hi,

    I did a clean install and noticed that Windows Defender is not shown in the tray. However, "Always show all icons in notification area" is active. When I start Windows Defender by hand then it stays in the Tray untill the next reboot. Is this behaviour normal?

    Regards,

    Baris
