Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool running in the Background

[UK Sentinel]

Nice to Know.

If you have ever noticed that once a month on a Tuesday your Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) runs in the Background and uses high CPU usage. There is a good reason why this happens.

As it turns out, Every 2nd Tuesday of the month is known as “Patch Tuesday” and Microsoft releases updates which actions the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool to run in the Background regardless if you are also using a third party AV.
