Before you judge me saying there is already answer, I want to tell you that didn't work on windows 11. I has tried a lot of ways to kill it but it's still using more than 30% cpu of 12 core which is a lot. I'm pretty worried about it because I think it's not normal for a antimalware use so many cpu. When i trying to kill it in task manager it just denied access(I'm the administrator of the computer). I wish there is some command like sudo kill id -9 in linux.

Edit: This process is part of the Windows Defender that's why it can't be killed. And it is pretty normal for it to have high cpu usage over a short period of time, but in my case where it is constantly consuming high cpu is not normal, it is caused by too many daemon app or proccess going on that it needs to be constantly examen those proccess to make sure that they are not doing some thing "Bad" since it's basically what it is designed to be doing.

You're not supposed to be able to kill an antimalware program (there are commands like sudo kill but they will encounter the same errors.) If it'd be so easy then all malware would do that... Antimalware solutions have built-in protections to prevent that.

If you want to Turn Off Windows Defender Antimalware you'd need to do it from the settings.

(I do not think that there is such a thing as a "Windows 11 family antimalware", if you have more details on its location and filename maybe we could tell what it is.)

I was able to stop it from using any resources at all by disable it in Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Defender Antivirus There is a couple setting there that is related to disable windows security, and go into the real time protection folder as well, couple setting there as well, disable them all then that process won't consume any cpu at all no matter what you do
