MsMpEng.exe - High Disk Use with Launcher Open?
lawman_actual posted a topic in ARMA 3 - TROUBLESHOOTING
In the past I've noticed issues with performance that coincide with high memory use by the MsMpEng.exe service, which is the background 'real-time scanning' by Windows Defender. The problem seemed to go away, but now has returned over the last week. Thus far I have followed the advice from Answers Microsoft, changing Defender's Schedule and adding MsMpEng.exe to Defender's exceptions. However, the issue has persisted. I began booting things up step-by-step to see where the issue kicks in. When completely idle (no apps launched), the anti-malware service would run, but usually at a low level and if it did spike it wouldn't be as extreme as when playing Arma and would subside shortly. With Steam launched, the disk use rises (around 60-80% typical), with the service appearing to be the primary guzzler of disk use. However, shortly after launch things return to a 'stable' state. The same cannot be said once the launcher is run. Disk use spikes to 80-100%, with MsMPEng.exe being the primary consumer at between 60MB/s and 80MB/s. It continues to fluctuate for as long as I have the launcher open, even if I do nothing with it, and will subside once it is closed after a little while. I have tried adding the arma3launcher.exe service to Defender's exceptions and have restarted since...but Defender doesn't seem to be paying any attention. Would appreciate some advice on next steps from somebody a bit more familiar with such things. Cheers, Law -
So, I bought Arma 3 from MMOGA, and it has been running fine for a long time (almost a year). Now, I get errors everytime I play I get an error message saying things like "Arma3.exe-No disk in drive E" and once I press one of the 3 options, it has a bunch of numbers. I cannot screenshot it or anything. It mostly happens on modded arma 3 servers, such as Evolution life, RLG takistan, Fast Foward Gaming Arma 3 life, etc. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks -llama
