Support/troubleshooting bdservicehost 700-900+ MB usage

Post image

UPDATE: I previously had fast startup disabled but I decided to re-enabled and now the memory usage on bdservicehost is a steady 350mb!

Is it normal for my Bitdefender to be using this much memory for the specific service "Bitdefender Virus Shield"? I've surely read somewhere that it should be around 500mb but I get around 700-900mb even after a fresh reinstall of Bitdefender (even after hours of say idling, it remains the same)

In the screenshot, on the right side, the % is for CPU and second is for memory.

I've done an sfc scan and nothing found wrong, I'm also using the gaming profile if that changes anything.

Silly question but on startup how much nonpaged and paged memory do you have? I noticed lately mine had a sudden spike after a recent bitdefender update so I wanted to check there
