    Antimalware Service Executable running all the time


    Hello,I have had for the past 3 months the Antimalware Service Executable running on the backround all the time, draining my battery. I have tried doing a clean boot, but the problem reappears after a couple of days. My concern is, that when i tried to access ''Virus and Threat Protection'',so i can add it to the exclusion list, it was nowhere to be found in the settings. Only when i manually entered its name in the search bar, it appeared but it woudnt let me access it, which seems a bit odd. Can a virus deny my access to the ''Virus and Threat Protection'' tab and make the executable run al

    :)
