Whenever an antivirus (so far this happened with malwarebytes and windows defender) is doing a scan in the background my gaming PC slows down ALOT more than it should (for example, it takes about a second to open files when normally it's instantaneous, and in minecraft my fps decreases to 30-40, absolutely unacceptable for these specs). And the weird thing is that I checked task manager while one of these scans was running but everything in there is below 10% usage (including disk usage). The only things I changed in the BIOS were the fan speed settings, but I ended up changing those back to their defaults. I don't remember messing with anything else in there. Any help would be very appreciated. P.S. This is a prebuilt PC from a local company that imports components and builds PCs for profit, so it's not a big brand.
