Antimalware Service Executable is taking up high CPU Usage and my laptop is heating too. How to fix it?

Hi Rijan,

Is Microsoft Defender running a quick/full scan?

Does this issue occur only when a scan is run?

Still Having High CPU Usage After Putting Antimalware Executable On Exclusion List

Please see my post in the following thread about high CPU usage by msmpeng.exe

MsMpEng.exe Utilizing High Amounts of Memory - Microsoft Community

The process that triggers an on-demand scan (for a large number of files) is the culprit; Microsoft Defender isn't the culprit.

If you'd like to run a trace, when MsMpEng.exe CPU usage shoots up, do the following:

Open admin PowerShell and run:

• New-MpPerformanceRecording -recordto C:\Defender.ETL
  

Stop the trace after 90 seconds.

Then run:

• Get-MpPerformanceReport -Path:C:\Defender.ETL -TopFiles:100 -TopExtensions:10 -TopProcesses:10 -TopScans:100 | out-file c:\scans.txt
  

and then

• tasklist /svc >>c:\scans.txt
  

Go to Pastebin.com and paste the contents of c:\scans.txt, and share the link here.

 

Problems with the memory instead of a high amount
