Every Wednesday my PC becomes so slow it is barely usable. It is the Windows Defender scans. I tried doing a hack to put it on a lower priority but my hands are tied by IT.

Same. I had nearly full administrative privs on the laptop, yet I get "Access denied" trying to deprioritize the scan. We got new hardware recently, so we should be good until the scanners catch up and consume even more resources...

  • You basically have no control over it. I don't mind it doing a virus scan but could it do it out of hours.

    People wonder why I don't run Windows outside of gaming and it because I don't really know what the system is doing anymore.
