Windows 10: audio dropouts on multi-core CPU setups

Hey guys, just a quick tip as I miraculously found a solution to what seemed an unsolvable problem.
I tried absolutely EVERYTHING mentioned here and nothing seemed to help with my CPU hitting 100% and ASIO dropouts, until I simply turned off (quit) my Kaspersky Internet Security…the CPU immediately went down to 10-15% and everything is running fine ever since.

Win 10
Intel i7 4770k
Cubase 9.5.30
RME Fireface 400
Waves Soundgrid Server One
