    Windows Defender Antimalware service executable


    Antimalware Service Executable is always running and using 100mb of memory. It is not running a scan all day every day however it is constantly using memory. I have tried re-schedule scan from the normal control pannel, setting, and task sheduler, I have disabled every feature of the windows defernder security that can be disabled. I have even done some crazy solutions I found on forums to make 'rule exeptions' in some advanced upon advanced settings windows. I have even tried to claim possession of the windows defender folder to try and deleted it completely. Non of which has worked to even reduce Antimaleware Service Executable memory consumption let along stop it from running. How can I claim back 5% of my RAM?

    :)
