Description
The SecurityHealth startup entry is a legitimate autorun that launches the Windows Security Center system tray, allowing the operating system to display notifications and alerts about the security health of your computer.
Windows Security acts as a management console for all of Windows' built-in security features, including antivirus, account protection, firewall and network protection, app & browser control, device security, and more.
Therefore, even if using an alternate antivirus solution, it is not suggested that you disable this feature

It is assumed that users are familiar with the operating system they are using and comfortable with making the suggested changes. BleepingComputer.com will not be held responsible if changes you make cause a system failure.
This is NOT a list of tasks/processes taken from Task Manager or the Close Program window (CTRL+ALT+DEL) but a list of startup applications, although you will find some of them listed via this method. Pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL identifies programs that are currently running - not necessarily at startup. Therefore, before ending a task/process via CTRL+ALT+DEL just because it has an "X" recommendation, please check whether it's in MSCONFIG or the registry first. An example would be "svchost.exe" - which doesn't appear in either under normal conditions but does via CTRL+ALT+DEL. If in doubt, don't do anything.
