Windows 10 Defender Full Virus Scan- CPU Usage 100%
About a few months ago, i noticed this. Whenever i do a full scan of my computer, the cpu would hit 100% and stay 100%. Sometimes it might drop to 95% or 90% but then it immediately goes back to 100%. The issue here is when this happens, my laptop is basically unusable. Thus many chrome windows are frozen or lag so bad that im concerned about it. Previously when i did virus full scans, i could do other things with no issue. Does anyone know why i have this issue?
I am concerned because the CPU is 100% usage and it sounds like the computer is using lot of processing power where im concerned if my computer could turn off or something like that when using it.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I don't know how this happened because a while back, there was no issue like this.
