Windows 10: [HELP] Antimalware Service Executable High Network Usage

Lately I have noticed in task manager that my PCs network using hangs out around 50-70% no matter what I am currently doing. Antimalware Service Executable is consistently using 550-600 Mbps of bandwidth at any time and I can't for the life of me figure out why. I have 2 network drives attached to my machine, but I have gone in to Windows Security Virus & Threat protection and excluded those two drives but still have high network usage. Any help or ideas to point me in a possible direction to solve this would be greatly appreciated.

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)

 

Antimalware Service Executable High disk usage

Hi Stephen,

This issue of high disk usage can be caused by software conflicts. You can
perform a clean boot to help eliminate software conflicts and see if the same issue will persist.

If you want to permanently delete it, you can delete it manually through msconfig. Type
msconfig on the search bar and select System Configuration. You might be asked for administrator credentials. Then the list of startup apps and services will be displayed. Look for the Antimalware Service Executable on either
the Startups or Services tab. Once you find it, click on it to disable the service.

Feel free to post back if you need further assistance.
