MSASCuil in startup

Steps taken to resolve, but have been unsuccessful

Nothing

Hello! After installing the latest security updates offered on Tuesday, I came across "MASASCuil" entry in startup and the "properties" option is greyed out. I googled it and I have found it is related to Windows Defender. Anyone else has this startup item? Should I disable it? Anyway, I have EIS installed on this device.

You can just remove the entry.

That entry will just make the taskbar icon for Windows Defender startup. If you use a third-party AV then it's useless and can be disabled.

Thank you @Robbie and @roger_m the entry was created after the latest windows updates. I have disabled it now.

@roger_m according to the link you provided, it seems it is a corrupt Windows Defender startup entry. Anyway thank you very much
