throkr Posted September 3 Hi, I'm using SAS Pro latest version 8.0.1042 on Win10 1903 - Build 18362.295 Pro x64. I noticed that during the installation of Windows Updates (cumulative updates), SAS core service is showing a very high CPU usage in task manager. This slows down considerably these installations. As soon as I disable temporarily the real-time protection (right-click on systray icon), the CPU usage goes back to normal (= very low) and the installations happen much more faster. I don't remember having seen this in previous Win versions (1809 and beyond) ... Is this normal ? Thanks for your time and suggestions / advices ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SASupport Posted November 7 This sounds like expected behavior. You might want to try turning down the scan boost settings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
