W10 - Antimalware Service Executable
Starting to lose my mind here.
I have a completely fresh install of W10 Pro (Ver. 1909) on a modern PC, and since day one I've been having almost daily issue with the "Antimalware Service Executable" process locking up my computer for 5-10 minutes when it comes out of sleep.
Things I've done to try and fix this
- Scheduled scans for once a week at night, while computer is not in use, and to wake itself if needed (it's always asleep; never off)
- Entirely disabled Windows Defender (so it says) through the Group Policy Editor.
However the process still runs as usual and makes my computer practically unusable for a time. I get the feeling it's Real-Time Protection that's causing the issue, however even with Defender entirely disabled, it still turns itself back on in my Security CP.
I don't believe turning all these things off should really be the solution, considering this is a high end PC and my old laptop with has none of this issue nor do any of my work computers, but I'll nuke it if that's the easiest solution ..if someone can tell me how to actually do that.
Someone please help me. =]
