Tried the group policy, tried the direct registry setting, tried the notification-settings - nothing works anymore. Does anyone know the magic trick to turn off the Windows Defender notification-icon?

The icon I am speaking off:

Persistent Windows Defender icon

    Install a different anti-malware suite, e.g. Avira, Avast... That will remove the icon. Don't operate without protection. – DrMoishe Pippik Apr 09 '17 at 20:56

Just head over to the taskmanager -> Autostart -> deactivate "Windows Defender notification icon"
