In the Task Manager you notice Antimalware Service Executable consuming 10-20% of your CPU (5700X). The only solution to stop it is disabling real-time protection in Windows Defender, yet you still need antivirus coverage. This usage is significantly higher than other systems, and you’re unsure why or how to resolve it. You’re running Windows 11 with the latest updates, and the issue seems to have started recently—previously it didn’t occur when you first set up your PC a few months ago.
