    Antimalware Service Executable: 172.4 mb of memory

    Microsoft Office SDX Helper: high power usage

    SQL Server Windows NT -390 MB of memory, high power usage

    Absolutely garbage o.s and I cannot find any permanent solutions to turn these off, they always come back whether you rename them or do registry work.

    System and compressed memory eating CPU cycles

    As the title says, there is this thing called "System and compressed memory" which is just eating my CPU alive. It usually stays at around 5~6%, then alt-tab and it goes to 10~15%, and just goes bouncing all over the place (and it seems that using the computer
    just makes it worse).

    So I have 2 questions:

    • What is it ACTUALLY doing to require so much processing power?
    • How do I get rid of it for good? Task manager told me the "ntoskrnl" file is the orign of the process, and I'm almost to the point og deleting it to see if solves the issue, regardless of it breaking my OS....
    I've already tried a few solutions online, such as disabling the page file or "updating drivers" to no success.....

    System and compressed memory eating CPU cycles

    Hi Imakuni,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being part of Windows 10.

    I understand your concern about CPU usage by System and compressed memory process. We will help you with this issue.

    We appreciate your effort and time spent in resolving the issue.

    I would like to inform that Ntoskrnl.exe
    is a critical process in the boot-up cycle of your computer.

    Note: Data or files which are infected by malware might be beyond cleaning and have to be deleted entirely to maintain the integrity of your system, which means there might be a potential for data loss.

    Step 2: Turn off the "Show me tips about Windows"

    Please do the below steps to do the same.

    • Press Start button, click on Settings.
    • In the Settings, select the System>Notifications and actions> turn off the "Show me tips about Windows".
