Windows 10: Still Having High CPU Usage After Putting Antimalware Executable On Exclusion List

I'm running Windows 11. I noticed my memory usage is around 160+ for Antimalware Executable. I've tried adding it to the exclusion list, I've tried changing defender's schedule. Nothing seems to be working. I'm not going to turn off defender. Is there any other solution?

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.
