    Antimalware Service Executable is taking up all my Disk in task manager 100% at 50MB/s


    I started my computer one day and it was using all my Disk space, I can't load anything and even google takes several minutes to load. I barley made it to the website to post this. I have tried Task Scheduler and watched multiple videos on how to fix. But it still sits at 100%

    Antimalware Service Executable

    Hello! I’m aware that there’s already numerous questions about this, though unfortunately I was unable to find any that fixed my problem.

    I have a HP Pavillion Laptop running Windows 10.

    Recently my laptop has been randomly freezing around 30 minutes or so into using it. I checked various things and upon checking task manager noticed the disk column was at 100%. The main culprate for taking up this space was Antimalware Service Executable.
    Other things taking up a fairly large amount were: Antimalware Definition Update and the installers for AVG and Avast. Prior to the laptop freezes AVG wanted to restart my computer to switch itself back on (I’d turned it off for a short while) and once back
    on these problems began occuring. I considered that it could be the Antimalware Service Executable trying to do something with my antivirus programs but I’m not sure. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

    Antimalware Service Executable problem

    I am still having the problem even with the latest prerelease build. The Antimalware Service Executable process is often running and taking a lot of CPU, disk and memory. The same The Antimalware Service Executable -> Windows Defender Service ...
    Too often the PC (an I7 one, 8 GB EliteBook HP) is stuck and even the response of a keyboard entry is very slow!!

    Any suggestions?
