    Windows Defender tray icon not showing status.


    One problem with my Windows Security is the system tray, every time I move my cursor or right-click on it, it doesn't do anything, but can still open it. So how to fix it? Is it necessary to reset? Here's the one when it tries to show the description.

    Win 10 Windows Defender not showing in tray icon

    I just upgraded to Win 10 from Win 7 64bit Now there is no Windows Defender tray Icon showing. If I go to and manually turn it on it shows up until I restart computer.

    Any suggestions

    To help you remove Windows Defender icon from your computer's system tray, you may follow these steps:

    • Right-click taskbar, and then choose Settings.
    • Under Notification area, click Select which icons appear on the taskbar.

    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?
