SCCM 2012 R2 High CPU with Endpoint Protection

SCCM 2012 R2 (no CUs)

Hi,

We've noticed over the past two months that Endpoint has been causing high CPU on servers and workstations.  It was running for six months prior to that without any issue.  We've since split the deployment and install time, split the collections so that servers and workstations update separately, excluded the following path mentioned in this article

but although this seems to have improved things slightly, some users still experience a slowdown at the time the updates are downloading and installing.  Anyone have an ideas or had a similar experience?  I can't see anything in the logs which is obviously the cause.

Hi,

You can appoint a specific time to install updates (e.g:midnight ),or maintenance windows.

The following thread also discuss the high CPU for your reference.
