How can I make Windows Defender icon in the notification bar appear when my system starts up?
I tried to toggle the switch to show the User Interface in the notification bar but that did not seem to help, but I toggled it back to OFF as shown from the image.
I just want the icon itself to show in the notification area as soon as my system starts up like shown in my other image.
Thanks
I think you need this setting:
Open Settings, in the Search box type 'Select' and click the first found item. Scroll down to Defender.
(If you're using another AV, it won't appear).
I think I did that setting one time and during system startup, the icon did not appear.
Please see image.
No, no other AV installed.
But, I came across this article from HTG and it explains how to remove the startup icon.
However, my question is the opposite, I want to add it in the startup task.

I am running Windows 10 1511.
When I toggle Show All Icons in the notification area, it is greyed out.
When toggled off, it is not greyed out.
Version of Win10 is 1511 build 10586
If you launch Windows Defender (type Defender in the Cortana search box click the result) does it say it's on or off?
Defender is ON and PC Status is OK and Protected. All green.
Now, under task manager on the Startup Tab, there is no option to add something to startup.
