By default, Windows Defender will run it's anti-spyware scan daily (albeit at a fairly unsociable hour if possible). Though it runs in the background, this can impact computer system performance the same way any full system file scan will. You may prefer to disable the automatic scanning completely and perform only occasional manual system scans at your discretion.
To de-automate Windows Defender system scans:
Open the 'start' menu and type 'defender.'
Click the 'tools' icon at the top of the window, then the 'options' selection.
Uncheck 'automatically scan my computer'. Click 'save'.
