How to Disable “Antimalware Service Executable” High CPU Usage

MsMpEng.exe can slow down your PC by consuming 100% CPU.

  1. Add Exclusion: Go to Windows Security -> Virus & threat protection -> Manage settings -> Exclusions. Add the MsMpEng.exe file.
  2. Reschedule Scans: Use Task Scheduler to ensure Windows Defender only scans when you are not using the PC.
