Windows 10: Windows 10 increase memory usage after update to version 1809

on 14/12/2018 my system updated to the 1809 version 17766.194 OS Build. after update i noticed that my system was using more RAM then before, on startup and without launching any apps the system was using 5Gb of RAM, compared to before it was around 3Gb.


I could not figure out what causing the increase, I am used to using my PC with Android Studio, Android Emulator and Firefox multiple tabs and the system won't exceed 8Gb of RAM but know it takes up to 12Gb or more.


Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Windows Explorer High CPU and Increasing Memory Usage


Hi,

I have an issue with my clean 1809 install (and also it happened before the clean install, and i decided to try a clean one due to it).

After a few minutes, the Windows Explorer process starts increasing its memory usage and also CPU is around 10%; i'm up to 2gb usage right now..

Anyone knows what is the cause?
Could it be Intel RST latest driver installment?

Using latest drivers from my motherboard page with latest windows updates.

Thanks in advance.

 

Windows 10 high Memory Usage

Hello,



I appreciate your patience.



You might be facing this issue due to several reasons like low virtual memory, third party software conflicts, virus threat on the computer etc.



Even though no programs or applications are running, some background services can show memory usage and disk usage. In order to check which particular program is using the memory, I would suggest you to check the Task manager.



Refer to these steps:

1. Press Windows key + X, select
task manager.

2. Click on the ‘Processes’ tab and it will show you show you a list of programs and services running and their corresponding memory usage and disk usage.

3. Check if any of the item listed is consuming more memory or disk usage than normal.



I suggest you to try the following steps and check if it helps.

You need to increase this virtual memory.

Make it equivalent to your RAM size for the initial size and twice of the initial size in maximum size and make sure you have the same amount of free space in your hard drive in each drive.



To do this, follow the following steps:

1. Go to Control Panel (Press Windows key + X)> All control panel items > System

2. Click on Advanced system settings.

3. Under Performance, click on settings

4. Go to Advanced tab

5. Under Virtual memory, click on Change

6. Un-check "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives" check box

7. Select your windows drive (where OS is installed)

8. Click on Custom size radio button

9. Set Initial size equivalent to your RAM size in MB

10. Set Maximum size to twice of your RAM size in MB

11. Click on Set

12. Click on OK thrice

13. Restart your system



Hope it helps.



Let us know if the issue persist, we are glad to assist you further.

 

Memory leak (usage gradually increases)


I understand the overall memory usage is gradually increasing, but is the non-paged pool also increasing?
