The Taskbar and Start Menu are not the System Tray, and the Action Center flag in the System Tray does not tell you the status of Windows Defender, unless it is disabled and no other anti-virus and anti-spyware program is running.
Whatever takes Defender down will be only too pleased to pop up and tell you that you need to PAY to get it fixed :- Action Center will pop up and tell you all about it too, but will not ask for payment..
OD Smith. John Smith WN. In reply to A. User's post on February 8, I pin Defender to the task bar, open it, minimize it. Now all I have to do is place the cursor on the defender icon and it shows the defender panel in mini form in real time.
Of course each time the computer is shut down and restarted the procedure has to be repeated. A bit of a nuisance but better than having to open the panel every time you want to be reassured the computer is protected! Thanks OD. In reply to OD Smith's post on November 7, But for W8 and 8. I am given to understand that Microsoft was following their own guidelines on this issue.
It is a Notification area and if Defender has something out of the ordinary it will notify you by means of the Action Center icon. Same way as for updating the virus definitions it uses the same update system as for the rest of the system.
Once you have enabled Windows Defender on Windows 10, you can make full use of it to prohibit the unnecessary corrupted or damaged files from bringing the virus to your PC. But you should bear one thing in your mind, sometimes, the third-party antivirus program will conflict with your computer, so you may as well turn off this software for the purpose of avoiding certain problems, for example, Windows Defender not working on Windows Hence, if you want to pin the Windows Defender on the taskbar or enable it, you can refer to the steps above.
And for more issues with regard to Windows defender, it is also available to ask us for advice, for instance, some users may ask how can I change settings for Windows Defender on Windows How to Turn off Notifications on Chrome Windows 10, 8, 7. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
So how to show Windows Defender in Notification Area? To show it in notification area or taskbar, you can try the simplest and foolproof way.
Its that simple. Imagine a car without a steering wheel or customary pedals. Would you drive that? As you know, you enter it just as typed there--including the quotation marks because the quotes tells Windows to expect empty spaces in the command line--like the space between the word Program and the word Files and then after the last quote mark you leave a space and add the command line switch just as you see it using a hyphen and the word hide but no space between the hyphen and the word hide.
I am using a 64 bit version of Windows 8. I am also presuming that if you are using a 32 bit version of Window 8. So if 32 bit version of Windows Defender must be invoked from the Program Files x86 folder, the command line would instead be. You can test to see if you have constructed a proper command line by first inserting your command line into the run box. Just hold down the keyboard key with the windows logo on it and then press the keyboard letter r.
Put your command line in there. Search for a tutorial on how to add programs to the registry run key if you've not done it much. Those tutorials are all over the web. It's very helpful to be able to do that. It will also show that in the startup tab of Windows Task Manager so you can check it or uncheck it. After you have entered that registry run key, you'll have to restart your computer to see if it works.
If it works, you will have a little castle icon in your system tray. The castle gives you quick access to the program. It will also harbor a red x on top of the castle after you have selected to turn real time protection off. For me, the red x is a good reminder to turn it back on after I'm done with the job that made me decide to turn it off. Microsoft hasn't offered a selection in the Action Center to stop notifications coming through the Action Center about Windows Defender.
I won't bother trying to over-ride it because I need as many red x's as I can get to remind me I have turned off virus protection. So, if you add the castle and if you turn off real time protection in Defender you'll get a red x over your new castle icon and you'll also see the same familiar red x on the Action Center icon.
I hope that doesn't aggravate you. It's kind of a comfort to me. You can also, by the way, add Windows Defender back the context menu into Windows 8 so that you can again use the convenient right-click mouse maneuver to scan a file using Defender.
But that's another tutorial. Just search the web. It involves adding keys to the registry but that's just as easy as following a chocolate chip cookie recipe. Office Office Exchange Server. Not an IT pro?
