Experiencing slow performance on your computer with Trend Micro turned ON? It's not uncommon to see an increase in CPU and memory usage, but it should not persistently exceed certain levels.
Why Is My Trend Micro Using So Much CPU and Memory?
Normally, Trend Micro should use around 348 MB of memory and 10% of your CPU. If you notice figures higher than these, especially if they don't return to normal after 5 to 10 minutes, there might be an issue needing attention.
How Can I Fix This?
Updating your Trend Micro software can resolve high usage problems. Here’s how to manually check for updates:
- Right-click the Trend Micro icon in the taskbar notification area, then select Check for Program Updates. If the icon isn't visible, click the Show hidden icons arrow next to the notification area.
- Once the About Your Software window appears, it will check for available updates. After the check, click Close if it shows that components are up-to-date.
Regular updates ensure your Trend Micro program runs efficiently, keeping your computer's performance optimized.
