Using Windows 10 with AVG free installed, looking at Process Explorer, I see that svchost.exe repeatedly tries to open MpCmdRun.exe(5944)
-mpcmdrun.exe is a process belonging to Microsoft Windows Defender Antispyware- 
which intern tries to open conhost.exe. The 2 executables don’t open apparently because of access denied. But MpCmdRun.exe is Windows Defender, which I think is turned off because of the AVG install.

This attempt to run these 2 apps seems to use resources. Actually, scrolling hesitates, and that’s why I’m investigating.

So how do I stop these programs from trying to open? Is that the problem?

Nehmo, Also just for your info please note that from Win 8 OS onwards Windows Defender was re-classified as an AntiVirus prog so if any parts are enabled a conflict with AVG is always a possibility.
