Re: How to get Windows Defender appreaing always in the system tray ?

Windows Defender is designed to be less intrusive. You'll only see the system tray icon when something needs your attention.

I'am not sure this is the appropriate forum, but I cold not find a better one.

Compared to Microsoft Antispyware (the former Giant antispyware), Windows
Defender does not show it-self on the system tray, which I find annoying
because it prevents me to quickly check whether the computers I supervise
(about 30 !) are protected.

I see in the regsitry that Windows Defender is launched with the "-hide"
attribute (see hereunder a copy of the Run subkey)
Windows Defender\MSASCui.exe" -hide

What if I remove the "-hide" argument ?

Any help would be apprecaiated.
