Windows 10: Antimalware Service Excutible & Microsoft Edge

The last few days, my computer is very slow and jumps around. I went to Task Manager and the two programs above were consuming a lot of memory. The use engine was CPU 0 3D

Antimalware service excutable consuming ram and cpu

hey there

so lately i've been having this "Antimalware service excutable" consuming much ram and cpu for some reason. I've tried multiple solutions; one was to turn off all the conditions for Windows defender from the task scheduler, another was to add MsMpEng.exe
to the exclusions of windows defender's.

both solutions didnt change anything, i presume that its cuz once my computer had found threats and during deletion it got stuck (only windows defender) and after that this has occurred.

is there some sort of troubleshooter i can run for windows defender only or any other fix.

pls help :C

thanks in advanced.

Antimalware Service Executable

This only started happening today. This command, Antimalware Service Excutable, will without fail, begin running on my computer after being on for a few minutes. I have tried every single solution listed both outside, and inside this webpage, and nothing
is stopping it. It is on average using over 70% of my CPU and 100% of my disk space. I'm told it's connected to windows defender. Why did this only start happening today? How can I ensure it stops and never happens again?
