[RESOLVED] Windows Security in systray is missing

[jonnyb]

My Windows Security icon from the systray is now missing. I would like to get it back. Anybody know how? I tried to go to Taskbar>>select what icons appear and it is on. So how to get it back. I have version 20h1 now of Win 10.

I assume that in is not in the icons that appear when you click on the little arrow to show any hidden icons, and that it does not show when you change the Settings option to Show All Icons for the System Tray / Notification area. If it still does not show after that, then I have not seen any information on a successful method to get it back without doing a Repair Install at least.

I did a restore back two days and now my icon is back and is showing up in Task Manager>>Startup.

Was that a System Restore, or a restore from a backup image?

It sounds like another Microsoft "update" helpfully removed the icon for you.

Just a system restore. I had two to choose from and I just chose 2 days ago. Worked. Wish I could of figured it out otherwise though. Just to say I fixed it myself.
