    Microsoft Windows Defender using high resources suddenly


    Out of the blue, Antimalware Service Executable has suddenly began using over 750mb of RAM, a constant 1-2mb of disk writing, and 1-5% of my CPU.While this is a small portion of what I have available, this sudden spike is concerning, it only started noticeably a few days ago. I've attempted rescheduling the scans, and adding itself to exclusion, with no luck.I'd like to know what it is doing, or how to remedy this.Intel i7-14700KF 3.40 GHz32 GB RAMNVIDIA Geforce RTX 4070x64 Windows 10 Pro
