Windows 11 laptop, fully updated.
How can I prevent the 'Windows Malware Executable' running during office hours,
leaving the laptop randomly unresponsive for 5-10 seconds at a time?
WME has, frustratingly, been running for about 90 minutes this morning.

Thanks for that.
I'll give it a try when I get home from this end of month bike ride.

Now followed this.
Let's see what happens next time Windows Malware Executable decides to run.
