    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?

    Antimalware Service Executable High Memory Usage

    Antimalware service executable is taking much memory, I've tried to change windows defender's schedule and add antimalware service executable to windows defender exclusion list and none of those worked.
