  1. Antimalware Service executable is taking 80% or more of CPU for days !


    Hi,

    The last week, every day, the Antimalware Service executable is taking 80% or more of CPU, all the time I am using the PC.

    I do not think it is scanning, because in its report in Windows it says that there are no threats and that the last exam was already finished.

    What is going on ? I cannot work with the PC behaving like this !

    I do really appreciate help, please …..

    Thanks!

    Rosa

    :)

    Antimalware Service Executable High CPU

    I am experiencing high CPU usage on the Antimalware Service Executable on my Surface Pro i7 1 tb (2017). This has been going on for a couple of months. It makes my computer almost unusable. The CPU sits at 100% any time I try to use it. The CPU has
    over 50% usage when nothing is being run in the foreground all the time (24 hours a day). The April update was just installed and the Antimalware Service Executable is still running at over 40% of the CPU utilization.
