Hello
I like to scan my disks regularly using defender. I'd also like to keep using windows during the scan. When defender is scanning my disks the cpu usage by msmpeng is around 80%. I tried lowering the priority but I get the message "access denied". Then I tried to take ownership of msmpeng but that was denied as well.
Does someone know a way to lower priority for msmpeng?
Kind regards, Klaas
