    Windows Explorer and antimalware service executable using more memory for no reason


    Hi, I am Sakib from Bangladesh using an HP Zbook Firefly 14 G8 for almost 4 months. Recently, I've reinstalled Windows 11 because I accidentally cleared TPM from UEFI. After some days, the programs I needed I had already installed. but now I can see Windows Explorer, Desktop Windows Manager, and Antimalware Service Executable are using 150+ MB of RAM, which I didn't see before. But some days before they were normal. Some screenshots are attached, if you need more information, let me know. Though I have 16GB of RAM, using too much RAM in the background for no reason means there is a problem run

    :)

    Antimalware Service Executable

    Hello,

    Currently I'm facing a problem with the antimalware service executable. It uses half of my memory, I did tried some solutions such as: Change Windows Defender’s schedule and Add Antimalware Service Executable to Windows Defender exclusion list. However, none of these solutions has yet fixed my issue. Any help is appreciated.

    Should I install another antivirus program?
