Is this process safe? I’m running Windows 10. I’m having no issues but I’ve seen posts that this could be malicious, and I’ve seen posts that it is perfectly safe. Does this process indicate an infection or that Widows Defender is shut down?

Yeah that’s the arena of googling processes,. and it’s a big hot mess for reliability as even known good processes like explorer.exe or powershell.exe can be injected and used for malicious actions. Really you want to be looking at MD5 (What WSA uses) or another signature like SHA-256 to identify individual files.
