Thank you for your reply.
@herf said in Strange behaviour on 1709 with Crimson 17.10.1:
Is Defender trying to remove f.lux?
No. The Defender Notification Icon in the Notification Area shows up although I disabled it (How to). It doesn't show an error, it does not inform me of something, it simply appears although I disabled the appearance. That is my problem. Apart from that f.lux and Defender work as intended. As I found out a week ago, with the Windows Store version of f.lux the Defender Icon does not show up.
So I am happy now but there is something in your code in the 4.55 standalone version that activates the Defender Notifiaction Icon.
