I might see this occur when idling with browser closed and nothing but Task Manager and one Word file open. ![]() I also use Malwarebytes, but its services don’t seem to ever use more than 1 or 2% of CPU and I’ve never noticed any conflicts between it and Windows Defender.Įven though 70% of CPU is supposedly still available, the PC is largely unresponsive to any mouse input until and unless the Antimalware Service Executable CPU usage drops back down to its normal range of 0 or 1%. Disabling real-time protection in Windows Defender seems to help a lot, but real-time protection apparently turns itself back on in a day or two. I assume a scan or indexing of some sort is going on. Task Manager shows that CPU usage by Antimalware Service Executable can stay in the 28 to 32% range for 20 seconds or so, by far the heaviest load on the CPU. The browser (usually Pale Moon, occasionally Chrome) can be closed or open. This PC is often idling and is rarely under a significant load, so I’d guess it occurs many times without being noticed.

I’m running Windows 10 Home on an SSD, fully updated. ![]() I'm having the same issue over the last 2 weeks, but my issue affects all operations, not just browsers.
