    * Type Windows Defender into the search space and select the
    Window Defender     from the list to launch the same.

    * Keep Windows Defender open on desktop.

    * Now Right-click on System-Tray(I.e. On time/date) and select
    Customize notification icons from context menu

    * On right Select which icons appear on the taskbar under
    Quick actions    .

    * Then search and toggle the Windows Defender to On

    Windows Defender Tray Icon


    Having just updated Windows to version 1709 16299.19 the Icon for Defender is no longer there. Checked notifications and defender is not even listed.

    In Task Manager start up there is just the word Windows and not defender ( see pic). So this new version of windows has messed up Defender in some way. Before the up date defender icon was in the system tray and now it's gone.
    Anyone else having this with the 1709 up date?
