Too much info is just a diversion for all other trouble-shooters.
Since this is a Beta version still,
I presumed manually registry editting of software permissions would make
program function.
Do it on Anti-Virus program that has extremely low overhead (
www.F-Prot.com)
If Windows Defender auto scan has no traces\records,
as in my case,
then how can I tell that any other automatic services that are running
actually function properly?
Other Postings show references to three processes.
I only have two,
even when watching while a check for updating is performed through the
Windows Defender program dialoque boxes.
MSASCui.exe & MsMpEng.exe are always there, under Limited or Computer Admin
Users.
MpCmdRun.exe never shows up on process task list.
Manual scan works.
