    Antimalware Service Executable will not stop resource hogging


    I have done everything I can to turn off Windows Defender and finally got it turned off and this file process is still robbing over 35% of my resources. I have ran antimalware with 3 different software and no malware found. I do not know what else to do. This is preventing me enjoyment of my games.

    Does Microsoft know their Antimalware Service Executable uses 100% Disk storage? Do they think this is ok? I'm trying to work.

    Does Microsoft know their Antimalware Service Executable uses 100% Disk storage? Do they think this is ok? I'm trying to work, but my resources are hogged by a program that is supposed to protect me from having my resources hogged by maleware.
    Should Antimalware Service Executable be classified as maleware itself? I went through all the steps to try to disable it, but it still hogs resources at times. Please, at least, throttle
    Antimalware Service Executable to consume only, say, 50% of any resource: CPU, Memory, Disk, Network.

    I am trying to use Windows 10 for business, but it slows me down.

    Antimalware Service Executable will not stop resource hogging

    Antimalware Service Executable hogging up a lot of RAM.

    I did a clean install of Windows 1903, and I got this app that pops up in my task manager. It's called 'Antimalware Service Executable'. And it hogs up a lot of RAM, I've watched a couple of videos and gone to sites which didn't help at all. I also did
    a virus scan, yet it is still there. Any help?
