Hey folks,

I'm in a bit of a bind here and need some advice. I recently installed the Intel Arc GPU, and it's been a great upgrade so far in terms of performance. However, I've run into a peculiar issue related to my TrendMicro antivirus software.

Whenever I run a scan or perform certain actions with TrendMicro, my computer's performance takes a significant hit. This slowdown is especially noticeable when gaming or running resource-intensive applications. The strange thing is that this issue only started occurring after I installed the Intel Arc GPU. Before that, TrendMicro worked just fine without causing any performance drops.

I'm at a loss here and wondering if anyone else has encountered a similar problem or might have some insights into how to resolve this issue. I rely on my antivirus software, but I also want to make the most of my new graphics card's capabilities.

Here's what I've tried so far:

  1. Updated Drivers: I've made sure that my Intel Arc GPU graphics drivers are up to date, hoping it might resolve the issue, but no luck.

  2. TrendMicro Updates: I've also updated my TrendMicro antivirus to the latest version, thinking that might help, but the problem persists.

  3. Resource Allocation: I've checked to see if there are any resource allocation conflicts between the graphics card and antivirus, but I couldn't find any obvious issues.

If anyone has any suggestions or has encountered this specific problem before, I would greatly appreciate your input. I want to keep my system secure without sacrificing the performance I've gained with the new graphics card.

Regards,

Judye
