    Cannot resolve high ram/disk usage by the Antimalware Executable Service


    Hello! I've this service that uses more then 50% of a Ram.

    I tried with this https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/antimalware-service-executable-hogging-up-a-lot-of/bcb89859-17be-4701-a938-ad5e7ac96351

    But in the Task Scheduler, all options are "not selectable" so i cannot check/uncheck.


    I've also started the Task Scheduler with admin, but nothing.

    I already have last version of Windows and no updates

    How can i solve? It is a big probrem....

    :)

    Antimalware Service Executable very high disk usage

    For me, the Antimalware Service Executable still eats up my disk usage, but since the above suggestion made it so that it only happens while the machine is idle, that is okay for me. I haven't noticed any annoyance from it since.

    (Of course, if I had programs running while not on the machine that also needed a lot of disk operations, the solution would not have worked for me, since then Antimalware Service Executable would interfere with those programs.)

    If you are still experiencing problems, perhaps try disabling Antimalware Service Executable and the other service you mentioned (that I don't know) completely? Of course, that is assuming you can live with not having them.

    (I don't think there is a way to change how much disk operations the program needs, so when it runs, it'll always have high disk usage if your disk is quite slow)

    Cannot resolve high ram/disk usage by the Antimalware Executable Service

    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.
