  1. Recent update with antimalware service executable that’s eating my CPU


    I have looked up every possible way to fix it, literally everything and my CPU is still insanely high even when I managed to turn off (then it always turns itself back on when I restart) when it never was like this before the update I had 2-3 days ago. I can’t play games anymore or even use discord without my CPU being 100 (I have a Dell gaming laptop) Do I have to wait for a new update to come out that could possibly fix this? am I the only one recently? any information would be very helpful. Thank you for reading.

    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.
