    Your SHA256 hash is correct. You have the genuine file. The reason the command didn't work is you ran it from Command Prompt, not Powershell.

    This is SecurityHealthSystray sitting in your tray:

    But mine dosent pop up anything? When I click on the application in system 32

    It won't. It will start the app and it will run in the system tray. You need to double click its icon that sits in the system tray.

    Open Windows Powershell and run the following command:

    (Get-FileHash C:\Windows\System32\SecurityHealthSystray.exe).Hash
    

    If the file is genuine, its hash will be:

    None of your screenshots show anything abnormal. No publisher showing in Task Manager's Startup apps is normal.

    That's completely normal. It runs in the tray and if you double click on it, it launches Windows Security.
