Windows 10: How to fix Antimalware Service Executable 100% CPU usage?

Hello everyone,

At random moments this (Image) happens and I don't know why. It stays at 100% for a few minutes and then goes back to normal.

I tried fixing it by scheduling the Windows Defender scans on a certain day and hour and it worked for a few weeks but I guess it doesn't anymore.

Can someone explain why this happens and how I can get rid of it?

Thank you!

Antimalware Service Executable High CPU

I am experiencing high CPU usage on the Antimalware Service Executable on my Surface Pro i7 1 tb (2017). This has been going on for a couple of months. It makes my computer almost unusable. The CPU sits at 100% any time I try to use it. The CPU has
over 50% usage when nothing is being run in the foreground all the time (24 hours a day). The April update was just installed and the Antimalware Service Executable is still running at over 40% of the CPU utilization.
