Anonymous

Hello,

I am experiencing very large memory usage from the Microsoft Security application.

According to task manage, microsoftsecurityapp.exe is cycling continuously between 2Gb - 17Gb of memory usage every 60 seconds or so.

I am using Windows 11 Pro, 24H2

Thanks!

    I guess I'm totally confused.

    I have no Microsoft Defender running in my

    Task Manager.

    I have Windows Security running IF I open

    Windows Security.

    What exact Insider build are you on?
