Hi, MsMpEng.exe is the core process of the Windows Defender anti-malware application. Windows Defender comes pre-installed on Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows Server 2019 and Windows Server 2022.
This issue with MsMpEng.exe taking high usage of the hard drive and CPU usually occurs when Windows Defender is scanning for malware. The Windows Defender scan is getting stuck on a few files while checking malware.
When that is happening, it should be restricted or disabled to bring it back to normal use.
