Windows 10 Antimalware Service Executable

Question

Hello

I'm having a trouble with Antimalware Service Executable, it's taking alot of ram like alot of ram usage(not cpu usage, the cpu usage always 0 while the ram keeps growing up). as soon as I start my pc it takes up immediately 250mb and keep growing up with time and if I leave my computer on for like 5mins it goes up to 800mb and even more. I can't even play games normally they all stuttering cuz it's eating up all the rams, I reinstalled windows and didn't work, i disabled windows defender and didn't work. I honestly have no clue what else I can do here... 

And thanks for helping in advance

Answer 1

I recommend you scan your computer from time to time to check malware.

I agree with you, you should recommend this directly to Microsoft developers through the feedback hub app:

Thank you and happy new year!

Answer 2

Seems like disabling windows defender from regedit did fix the problem, now it's only using like 40mb of ram which is good, but my pc is completely unprotected now. Shouldn't Microsoft add something like do a scan every 5 hours or any other specific hour to prevent these kind of problems, having Windows defender scanning all the time is really annoying especially for budget computers. 

Thanks for helping.
