CPU Load Factor should be optimized (20-30%)
Why This Matters
An improperly configured CPU load factor for Microsoft Defender Antivirus scans can degrade system performance or leave endpoints vulnerable. If the load factor is too high, it may slow down critical business operations. If it is too low, scans may not complete in a timely manner, increasing the window of exposure to undetected threats.
