throkr Posted September 3, 2019 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, 2019 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
