 Widows defender antivirus slowing PC - No FM2R
Right, here's what is happening to me....

Computer starts to get slow. Eventually I notice as it becomes unbearably slow. When I check, it seems to be Antimalware Executable that is utilising the disk to a ridiculous level. Occasionally Windows Update, Orchestra Update and Module installer are joining in.

There is no scan that I can see.

I open Windows Update and it says there are none outstanding. I force it to check for updates, despite it saying that it only checked yesterday.

The computer then grinds to a halt before eventually admitting that there is an update available and it will, if I'm nice, install it.

Then, after the update, everything is back to normal and functioning properly.

Until the next time.

p.s. and this is the third time I've been able to follow these steps. I have followed every Windows repair, update repair etc, etc, process you can think of, and it still recurs.
