Windows 10: Antimalware service executable acting weird.

Hey,I have a really weird issue, I just updated amd drivers and stuff and did a windows update. Now, for some reason whenever I am using a browser, like google chrome, also tested it with edge. And lets say I start just moving the browser around on my screen, cpu usage goes up from around 3 % to around 60% for no reason. These are the main usages at that moment: Antimalware service executable; around 20%, system also 20%, google chrome itself: 10%.Honestly, I am not sure if it has something to do with updating the amd drivers, or the microsoft defender antivirus update i just did. its version

Antimalware Service Executable

Hello,

Currently I'm facing a problem with the antimalware service executable. It uses half of my memory, I did tried some solutions such as: Change Windows Defender’s schedule and Add Antimalware Service Executable to Windows Defender exclusion list. However, none of these solutions has yet fixed my issue. Any help is appreciated.

Should I install another antivirus program?
