    windows defender shows caution in taskbar icon but there are no tasks to be done


    Windows defender shows caution in taskbar icon (lower right, Windows10) but there are no tasks to be done (all have green checkmarks). What am I missing that can leave me vulnerable?!

    This issue was addressed on the forum earlier this year but not satisfactorily.

    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?
