I’m a bit concerned that Antimalware Service Executable has been inactive for a while now - my understanding is that this is connected to Windows defender, shouldn’t this always be running?
Thanks
Have you checked that it is not also listed under active apps?
@Katie_GlassWire It would be nice to have an option to get rid off my now five Antimalware Service Executable listed under inactive. They make the inactive tab very messy

Yes I have and it isn’t. It’s actually listed twice and both are inactive!?
Maybe right click on the MS Defender Icon in the taskbar and “search for protection updates” or scan a random file to trigger it. After that I’m out of suggestions. Sorry
For me the inactive once were never a problem (other then mounting up) since I always had one that was in “active apps”.
Thanks @Geri123; it’s running withing task manager 177.6 MB constantly used in memory and very little CPU (0.1) usage
