Windows Defender high RAM usage while Kaspersky is my only active anti-virus

Windows Defender high RAM usage while Kaspersky is my only active anti-virus

Ok, I might be tripping but I think I don't remember ever seeing Windows Defender consuming HIGHER amount of RAM than Kaspersky (I'm pretty sure once Kaspersky is enabled, it always technically disabled the Windows Defender and it dropped to some minimal amount of RAM consumption if not vanished from the list completely)... It also seems to periodically consume some CPU as well, which is not what I used to seeing as well. I did try rebooting my system, I made sure Windows Defender shows Kaspersky as an active anti-virus solution, and I do have SmartScreen disabled...
Was this "bug" introduced with the last Tuesday Windows patch? Can someone look and confirm if it's not only me with this issue?

VPN missing after reinstall

I was having trouble connecting to the VPN this morning and after a few failed attempts I removed the app and reinstalled. But doing so actually removed the vpn section altogether and now I have no way of getting it back. Anyone know how to fix this?

Can't install Kaspersky Password Manager, even with tech support

It keeps failing at 99% due to some Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime issue, even after I've gone through steps to reinstall those things, and even after using Kaspersky's Remover Tool. Even going to Kaspersky's tech support so far hasn't worked, with them giving the same steps I looked up beforehand.

I'm guessing I might just have to take my laptop to a computer specialist and have him look at it. Gotta get this thing's touchpad fixed too; it keeps having cursor slowdowns due to badly designed grounding.

Any opinions to offer?
