@qwiktwik.com: Antimalware Service Executable eating your CPU? Windows Defender's scheduled scans are allowed to average 50% of your CPU, and there's no switch for that in Windows Security. How to limit Windows Defender CPU usage on Windows 10 and 11: 1. Press Win + R, type powershell and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter (admin) 2. Paste: Get-MpPreference | fl ScanAvgCPULoadFactor, EnableLowCpuPriority (you'll see 50 and False) 3. Paste: Set-MpPreference -ScanAvgCPULoadFactor 20 4. Paste: Set-MpPreference -EnableLowCpuPriority $true Defender keeps protecting you in real time, only its scheduled scans get lighter. To undo, set the factor back to 50 and the priority to $false. Save this for your next gaming session. 300+ tweaks like this in QwikTwik. #windows11 #windows10 #windowsdefender #gaming #pctips

Google and install "DefenderUI" - which is basically "Windows Defender User interface" - a very small and Lite app - which gives you access to every Win Defender feature, to set as you see fit - or use recommend profile. You can set CPU resources from Advanced tab.
