Solved Windows Security notification icon is missing

[JB007]

Hello,
Windows Security notification icon is missing on one of my work PCs ; it seems correctly activated but I don't see it
I'm with Windows 11 Pro 22H2.
Is it a known issue ? Is it possible to solve it ?

If you look in Task Manager's Startup tab, is it enabled?

Did you try the obvious, restarting your computer?

Try reseting Windows Security

Start -> All Apps-> Right Click Windows Security-> More-> App Settings-> Repair-> Reset.

You can try to make a shortcut (to your Desktop) from this related exe in the following system location:
C:\Windows\System32\SecurityHealthSystray.exe

I had same issue and just executed the file: SecurityHealthSystray.exe after that the icon should be visible again in Windows taskbar/sytsem tray...
