I can't tell which program because it's only telling me about the executable using CPU usage, it sounds like it's releted to anti virus, the only antivirus other than defender i have is malwarebytes.

It's Windows Defenders backround service, found that out after a google search, gonna disable it and just use malwarebytes.

It's Windows Defender...  You can temporarily disable it, but to disable it permanently you must use a Registry modification or edit policies in the group policy manager.  I suggest leaving it on, it's probably just scanning or something.
