Yes , this program is working
Microsoft have made their Beta 2 to show notification only if there is a
problem like not working software or if it find malware or suspicious
activity.
To make sure it is working you can hit CTR+ALT+DEL and open the Task
Manager.Then should see its processes.
If you encourage problems with it , uninstall it.

It runs in the background, but remember that it's a beta and isn't terribly
effective yet.
