    How can we fix the memory leak issue of Antimalware Service Executable on Windows 10?


    I have tried methods of disabling the software using the registry editor and even using command prompt. But those methods are of no use. They were unable to kill the above mentioned service. I already have an antivirus software installed. I would not bother about the working of this antimalware service executable. But there are memory leaks due to this service. I have reported this issue to the Feedback hub of microsoft. But they don't respond. I have reported 3-4 times. If someone has solution on how to kill this process please help me.

    I need to restart my laptop to reduce memory usage of the service. It even takes around 800MB of my RAM sometimes. So, Please help me with this.

    :)
