10 Best Fixes: How to fix high disk usage of WaasMedic Agent Exe (100 % CPU)?

Option 1. Disable or uninstall your antivirus

Since the main function of Windows Update Medic is to prevent corruption of system files, some security applications may not be compatible for various reasons. So if you are having high disk usage through the process, you should try uninstalling your third party antivirus and see if that helps you resolve the issue.

Of course, if you’ve already paid for the license for anti-malware software, you would definitely want to keep using it. In case disabling your anti-malware did not resolve the WaasMedic Agent Exe high memory issue, then you should go for one of the solutions that we offer below. Or you can always switch to another anti-malware.

Option 2. Disconnect removable drives [Not Recommeded]

As stated in the title, this is a solution to work around the problem rather than solving it. It seems that due to unknown reasons the process is not working as it should and is resulting in high disk usage. If this is your case, then you should temporarily remove any removable drives (for example, external hard drives or USB sticks) and check if that fixes the problem.
