    How do I stop "Antimalware Service Executable" from using ~200mb of memory


    Hi there,I've recently found my laptop's memory bogged down and running applications much slower than the day before. I was looking into processes and found this "Antimalware Service Executable" seemed to be a major contributor to my memory usage.

    How do I stop "Antimalware Service Executable" from using ~200mb of memory

    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?
