Hey @gg123xyz
I see you only have a High GPU Usage in the videos, reasons ofc Apex Legends and recording.
What is perfectly normal for a GPU, I got a 2070 OC that is always maxing out on usage.
The only thing that could be bad for PC components is high temps, but I'm not able to see that in the video.
GPU / CPU usage can depend on the area you are playing in but in both video's.
With and without Real time protection enabled is nothing wrong you your statistics.
I looked in both video's for the highest % Usage (In combat, not looting) and found this.
With antivirus on: With Antivirus turned off:
GPU Usage: 88% GPU Usage: 95%
CPU usage: 61% CPU Usage: 70%
As you can see these Usages say more of the environment then Real time protection / Windows Defender in general.
I'll leave a link to show windows defender in general is not really using that much of you CPU.
Techlore - Does Windows Defender Slow Down Your PC?
Online showing you disable your Real time protection is something that is really dangerous.
And leaves you pc vulnerable when playing Apex legends, background programs can execute code without you knowing.
I strongly recommend to leave this feature on as prevention is better than cure. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
In the end you decide but you better take our word 😳
i had a long think on that and i decided to turn on my real time antivirus.
