Cleaning up the reg Run line worked perfectly for me. Thanks so much.

I had the same problem that most people had, windows defender tray icon didnt appear even with the options of always enable and everything; but the real solution is to put in the run command
(regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run )

“C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MSASCui.exe” -hide

instead of

%Program Files\Windows Defender\MSASCui.exe -hide

to be honest i dont know why it works that way but for dumb problems dumb solutions

This anti-spyware really nice for our PC protection as it can do three acts in protecting our PC, detect, Identify and remove spyware from our PC.

Minh, probably, the issue could be caused due to a virus if it is greyed out in the taskbar properties Notification area. Please run a virus scan and if that did not fix the issue, then you need to perform a system restore or recovery by reinstalling the OS to fix the issue.

My Volume, Network and Power icons in Notification Area are disable. I can not check them.

Is there any way to fix that?

Thanks
