    ending task "Antimalware Service Executable"


    Hello,As written in title I wanted to end task named "Antimalware Service Executable" but I cant do it, when I tried to do it it said access denied, I tried searching it up in the internet but could find anything. I also tried ending other system tasks but I also get access denied, I'm only user on this pc and I have administrator permission given. Whatever I tried to do I got access denied. How to fix it and give myself access? I would really appreciate some help

    :)

    Antimalware Service Executable

    Hello,

    Currently I'm facing a problem with the antimalware service executable. It uses half of my memory, I did tried some solutions such as: Change Windows Defender’s schedule and Add Antimalware Service Executable to Windows Defender exclusion list. However, none of these solutions has yet fixed my issue. Any help is appreciated.

    Should I install another antivirus program?
