How to Disable High Utilization of Executable Antimalware Services – Guide

The Antimalware Service Executable process plays an important role in the Windows Defender Service that ships with Windows 10 (and despite the similarity in name, it is completely independent of Emsisoft Anti-Malware!). However, it is also notorious for using far more than its fair share of CPU processing power and can even slow your computer to an icy crawl. In this article, we have put together some simple steps you can take to prevent Antimalware Service Executable from consuming your system resources and ensure your computer runs smoothly. Do you use Windows Defender to protect your computer? In this case, open the Windows Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc or Start Menu > Task Manager), scroll through the list of background processes and you will find a process called Antimalware Service Executable and the corresponding msmpeng.exe file. Another Windows Defender feature that may be responsible for your system slowness is the full scan, which performs a comprehensive scan of all files on your computer. The full scan is highly CPU-dependent and not afraid to use your system’s available resources. As a result, you may experience lag, lag, crashes, and other system crashes while running.
