Does it keep straining your hardware even after you close all the active programs and apps?
There’s no need to worry; it’s not a virus but a legitimate process belonging to Valorant.
Why Does the UnrealCEFSubprocess Process Consume High CPU and RAM Resources?
UnrealCEFSubprocess is a legitimate Valorant process, so it shouldn’t overload your system resources.
If you are using security software, then it might be causing the issue.
Can You kill the UnrealCEFSubprocess Process via the Task Manager?
Disabling the UnrealCEFSubprocess process could adversely affect your active gaming session in Valorant.
The gaming elements this process controls or handles will crash and behave abnormally.
Because of this, we do not advocate closing it down.
Therefore, we recommend that you fix the underlying problem rather than only disabling this process.
Even though doing this is easy and quick, we don’t recommend it.
The Windows Defender and third-party antivirus software installed on your laptop are a solid defense against viruses and malware.
They prevent any potentially harmful agents from wreaking havoc on your unit.
These security suites would likely have already quarantined many threats and blocked potentially harmful files from affecting your rig.
Disabling or deleting them can release these threats and remove restrictions on malicious files.
Consequently, this could negatively affect your gear in the long run.
Considering the risks associated with it, it would be wise not to disable security software right away.
Instead of that, it’s possible for you to whitelist the UnrealCEFSubprocess process in them.
Whitelisting any file instructs security software not to interfere with it.
Therefore, whitelisting the file associated with this process will prevent antivirus programs from interfering with it.
Consequently, you will be successful in reducing resource consumption without compromising your security.
So, you’ve got the option to whitelist UnrealCEFSubprocess from it by following the steps outlined above.
According to some users, whitelisting the UnrealCEFSubprocess file from AVG antivirus doesn’t always reduce its resource consumption.
Due to this, users had to delete AVG antivirus from their computers.
