Completely uninstall Shadow Defender.
Steps taken to resolve, but have been unsuccessful

Hello, yesterday I uninstalled shadow defend by force with revo. Turns out there's still the shadowdaemon left in my system and I can't remove it. I can't reinstall shadow defender either because it tells me I'm in shadow mode. There's also an orphan icon on my desktop that never fades away. Attached are images. Well, if anyone can help me out very grateful beforehand. Greetings.

Virtualisation is designed and basic feature to protect system, files and programs...including SD instance of course...so actually nothing and nobody is able to uninstall it wile SM. Fast start issue is know from years and is mentioned in SD Manual
Frequently Asked Questions
Q : Why Shadow Mode works only if I restart the computer, If I shut down the computer, all changes remain after reboot.
Fast startup is enabled by default in Windows 8/10. When it is enabled, Windows will take hibernation instead of shut down, so turn off then turn on computer will not make changes discarded. In this situation, a reboot is needed to discard all changes. If you want to discard all changes made in shadow mode after shut down, please disable fast startup.

It's good pratice read sometime similar documents before installing especialy when we are talking about security apps.
