Windows 10: MsMpEng.exe has become a seriously problem for my system

In recent days, the 'Antimalware Service Executable' process has been kicking in periodically throughout the day as I'm trying to work.It will generally use about ~8% of my CPU at idle as shown below.The problem is when this happens, the fans on my CPU cooler go crazy and hardware monitors are showing my CPU temperature shoot up to 70c+ as if my CPU is being completely maxed out.The culprit seems to be the file C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Platform\4.18.2103.7-0\MsMpEng.exeI've tried to look up fixes like adding the file and folder to the exclusions list in windows security but no

Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...

That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

I suggest Option 1 is easier.

If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.

 

System Image Problem

I'm getting a head start in case you get on early.

Can you post camera pics to your thread from your phone?

There will be steps later that require attention to detail and I'd feel better if I could see what's on your screen. I had to try the steps more than once when I tested the process and I'd like to avoid that on your machine.

Here's what I'd like to do for the Macrium Rescue steps later on in the process
I'll post the the step, you'll post an picture of the Macrium screen,
I'll echo same screen back if I see something that needs changing or I'll just say Go Ahead

When I confirm that the Macrium screen, you'll make any changes I've highlighted and THEN execute the step

Here's where you begin today's session, we'll get as far as we get and then pick up when you get back home.

Step 1: Safeguard the System Image by moving it to a new folder

1. Connect the Seagate exp drive
   
   
2. File Explorer: Navigate to the Seagate drive
   
   
3. Create a new Folder named 1_sysImage
   
   
4. Move WindowsImageBackup to 1_sysImage

Step 2: List the VHDs in the System Image

1. File Explorer: Navigate to 1_sysImage\WindowsImageBackup\machineName\Backup date-time
   
   
2. Press the Type column to sort by Type
   
   
3. Post a screen shot

Hi Brian,

There are several reasons why you are experiencing issues in playing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on your Surface Pro 4. It is possible that there are compatibility issues between the game and the operating system components. To better assist you with
your concern, please clarify the following information:

• Have you played the game with an older Windows version before?
• What is the exact error message when you tried to check on the .exe files?

In the meantime, we recommend that you change the compatibility settings of your device by following the steps on this
