The problem usually occurs after users have upgraded to Windows 10, but it is not exclusive and occurs almost out of nowhere in random scenarios.

Malwarebytes, a popular Windows antivirus program that is one of the best anti-malware antivirus programs on the market. However, the CPU problem of the Malwarebytes service can sometimes occur under Windows, and this problem makes it difficult to use the full suite. As long as Malwarebytes is running on your computer, this problem persists. There are several methods that can help you solve the problem with the high CPU performance of the Malwarebytes service, and you can try them.

As a general rule, the more antimalware/antivirus protection you add to a PC, the more CPU processing is needed to handle potential “threats”, resulting in a high CPU overload (up to 25% or more!) and a much slower system. This is especially true for older and slower hardware, which may not be the case if you have a state-of-the-art PC. read more

So you’re trying to get the job done as quickly as possible. However, there is still a lot of online research to do. You then access your browser and enter the URL of the website you want to visit. However, your browser automatically fills in the URL with an address you have already visited or entered incorrectly. You always mark the long URL to delete it. Isn’t it annoying if your browser automatically suggests URLs?

To delete self-complete chrome suggestions

1. First enter the first letters of the URL in the URL bar – “www.am”.
2. From there, Chrome should automatically suggest the wrong URL.
3. Make sure the URL is highlighted and press Shift + Delete (Windows) or Fn + Shift + Delete (Mac) on your keyboard to delete the suggestion.
4. After deletion, Chrome will continue with the next available proposal.

It’s a simple process, but it’s really useful if you make a stupid mistake. read more
