Concede resources to other applications

Windows

Consumption of computer resources by Kaspersky Endpoint Security when scanning the computer may increase the load on the CPU and hard drive subsystems. This may slow down other applications. To optimize the performance, Kaspersky Endpoint Security provides a mode for transferring resources to other applications. In this mode, the operating system can decrease the priority of Kaspersky Endpoint Security scan task threads when the CPU load is high. This allows redistributing operating system resources to other applications. Thus, scan tasks will receive less CPU time. As a result, Kaspersky Endpoint Security will take longer to scan the computer. By default, the application is configured to concede resources to other applications.

Postpone or skip scheduled tasks while running on battery power

Windows

Linux

If the check box is selected, energy conservation mode is enabled.

Windows Kaspersky Endpoint Security postpones scheduled tasks. You can start scan and update tasks manually, if necessary.

Linux Kaspersky Endpoint Security cancels scheduled tasks. You can start scan and update tasks manually, if necessary.

When energy conservation mode is enabled and the computer is running on battery power, the following tasks are not run even if scheduled:

• Malware Scan
• Anti-malware database update
• Application Integrity Check
• IOC search

Limit CPU usage for scan tasks

Windows

macOS

Linux

Consumption of computer resources by Kaspersky Endpoint Security when scanning the computer may increase the load on the CPU and hard drive subsystems. This may slow down other applications. To optimize Kaspersky Endpoint Security performance, you can limit CPU usage by the Malware Scan task.

If the check box is selected, the average load on all CPU cores from the Malware Scan task approaches the specified value.

This check box is cleared by default.
