Well, windows defender is the single largest CPU hog Ive found on these low end cherry trail/silvermont/goldmont/etc tablets.

Particularly when windows update kicks on the CPU's go to 100%, the thing overheats, and generally is absolutely unusable as it downloads and scans/etc the update its preparing. The devices go from usable but slow, to put it down for a couple hours cause you won't get anything done levels of usability.

Disabling windows defender for the 24 hours (or whatever it takes) before windows decides to turn it back on, is the single largest performance hack I've found to make those devices run reasonably. Guess this "bug" just reinforces that fact.

Maybe someone should donate a few to MS's windows engineering teams so they can enjoy the monster they have created running on the low end hardware that is still being sold.

Re:24h

If you disable it and leave the security window, it automatically turns on again. It's bullshit.
