    Antimalware Service Executable


    It's always running, but only uses average 6% memory. I keep seeing posts where people want to stop this, but I think its normal. Any thoughts? I'm running version. 21H1, build 19043.1052 . This started months ago.

    That's the Windows Defender real-time protection service. Low drain; high value.
