On my Win10 PC, i have Malwarebytes configured to provide me with Windows Security's Virus & Threat Protection.
The Windows Security icon always loads in the system tray before the Malwarebytes icon.
Most of the time, on startup, the Windows Security's icon loads with a green check mark on it, showing that virus and threat protection are enabled.
But sometimes, it loads with a caution flag indicating that Virus and Threat Protection are mysteriously turned OFF. And, long after the Malwarebytes icon appears (indicating I'm now protected by Malwarebytes), if I take no action, it can take anywhere from 5-20 minutes before the windows security icon's caution flag finally turns into a green check mark.
In those cases, I have to go into Windows Security and turn it on, manually.
This is very unsettling. I shouldn't have to monitor it on every startup, and manually turn it ON in case it fails to turn ON by itself. Is there a way to permanently lock Windows Security's Virus & threat protection ON?
Better yet, i wonder... if I could make Malwarebytes always load, first, it might fix the issue - but how/where do I control the loading order of items in the System Tray?
