MicrosoftWe have a fix for high CPU on MacOS when Microsoft Defender SmartScreen is enabled!
Thank you to everyone who shared and submitted feedback regarding Microsoft Edge’s high CPU usage when Microsoft Defender SmartScreen was enabled. We investigated the issue to find there was a bug...
6/17/21 Still a huge problem occuring on latest software Big Sur (11.4, edge 91.0.864.48) on 2015 Macbook Pro. CPU @ 100%+ and laptop 20C warmer when edge is running single tab open doing nothing. Turning off Defender SmartScreen instantly drops CPU usage instantly.
Another Late 2013 MBP running Catalina with Defender SmartScreen shows no CPU consumption problems.
