Windows 10: antimalware service executable using high ram at all times.

Just bought a new laptop, and at all times in task manager, 200mb of my ram is being used by antimalware service executable, however i don't see this in my task manager at all on my desktop. I've tried a couple fixes given on other questions here, but those questions relate to other resources consumptions as well as ram, but it doesn't use any other resources, just ram in my case.

Antimalware service executable high ram usage

So my antimalware service executable(MsMpEng.exe) is using around 200mb ram and slowly keeps going up the longer my pc is on.

Ive added it to the list of exclusions and unchecked all conditions in task scheduler. Can someone tell me how to reduce the ram usage without disabling it? Because i dont have any other antivirus.

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.
