    Antimalware & Sysmain consuming my memory


    Two days ago my computer became very sluggish I open task manager and see antimalware service executable and sysmain are using a lot of my memory. These were not normal numbers. I haven't downloaded anything or gone to shady sites. The only kind of new thing was play some SimCity4 on Steam feeling nostalgia. I checked for updates and ran Norton full system scan. I even let the problem child antimalware have a go. Nothing. I was thinking of a system restore but figured I'd see if anyone could help me first. Any help and guidance is appreciated.

    :)

    HP stream wont update windows 10 , not enough memory

    To further assist you, we suggest that you run the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool. Refer to the steps provided below:

    • On the Start screen, type memory.
    • Click Settings and then click the result Diagnose your computer's memory problems.
    • Select the option to run the tool.

    We also suggest you to temporarily disable the antivirus as it consumes more memory and then try to upgrade.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Regards.
