Hi, i keep noticing my cpu is always at 100% and when i look into Task Manager>Processes Tab, MsMpEng.exe (in CPU column) is over 80+ and gives mixed numbers. That i believe causes my cpu at 100%.
Is there a way i can really calm my cpu and make the process "MsMpEng.exe' disable or lower its usage on cpu. And what is that process used for?
MsMpEng.exe is MSE. It must be scanning. Look into the MSE settings. There must be something wrong. E.g. scheduled scan should be set to quick scan. If you do not have MSE, it is Defender.
There are a ton of svchost.exe - you have to find out which .dll(s) it is running. E.G with Process Explorer or task manager.
svchost.exe is pretty normal to have multiple instances and somewhat high usage. It's normal, different services running under the svchost.exe
Task Manager - Show Services Running under svchost.exe
Thanks for the replies. I guess its just normal. And another thing, do cpu that are quad cores get to 100% with MsMpEng.exe and svchost.exe happenning?
No, not really. Well, I guess it all depends on what the cpu model is, but still probably out of the normal range. At least mine wouldn't even approach that.
Here's some info on MsMpEng.exe
