    Desktop Windows Manager(DWM) consuming more ram usage

    Hey, i have tried all the troubleshooting steps suggested by you to toubleshoot DWM ram usage issue, but still the problem persist and I just close the DWM in task manager, but this is not permant solution I found, because I need to perform same task for every start. Is there any permant solution to this problem apart from the above ?

    Notepad consuming cpu 40%

    I'd agree the most likely cause is malware. E.g.
    cpu 100% because of notepad.exe? - TechSpot Forums
    - just for information.

    You need to use appropriate tools to clean your system.

    This is what you should see if it is really Windows Notepad:

    You can compare the file and process sizes and other information with that shown on your system.
