Windows 10: Big memory leak problem.

hey i know that this is a problem that many many people have asked. But i cant seem to find a solution that works for me.

My memory would spike till im using 98-99% memory whilst doing mundane things like watching youtube. One of the solutions was that Killer Network Manager (which i had) was causing the issue. Following their advice, i removed the driver and reinstalled the one without the bloatware. That seemed to solve it for awhile but just today i noticed it came back. While poking around i noticed several weird things that i haven't seen on other places (maybe im bad at searching forgive me).
1. i have a 16 gb ddr3 ram and the PC rightfully detects it as such. But when i had processes like Minecraft running, it showed me i was using aproximately 1.8gb to run it. BUT when i changed it to display as a percentage it showed me that its using 66% of my ram.
2. i noticed that in my memory tab under performance in the task manager, it shows that i have something called non-paged pool of a whopping 8.9gb! I have a feeling its not supposed to be that high but im not very sure.










Hope if anyone has any insights they could help me.
P.S Oh and everytime i turn off my pc it says plugin-container.exe has crashed breakpoint exceeded. I doubt its got to with the memory but just thought id post it too

Lexmark x4650 does not print with Windows 10

Under Windows 8.1 the Lexmark X4650 drivers had a big memory leak. The 64 bits leaked 1 GB a day, so i don´t trust this packet anymore and after the Windows 10 upgrade the network is not showing all devices and the printer won´t print. I guess its related
and i´m still waiting for a samba update that solve this problems.

 

Possible Memory Leaks in Windows 10

A memory leak occurs when an application closes and fails to release all its RAM back to the operating system.

The first step in dealing with a memory leak is to determine which application is leaking memory.

The next step is to contact that application's technical support with complete details of the memory leak, since the developers will want to fix the problem ASAP.

 

The problem is the Non-paged pool. The value of 8.4 GB is many times a reasonable value. Typically it will be less than the Paged pool. Problems like this are usually caused by a device driver. Sorry, I can't help with that.

 

Hmmmm, i just did a restart and the non-paged pool is 9.2 gb. Is there no way to find out which driver is the culprit?

 

Update: I found this site: Memory leak in Windows 8.1 with Killer E2200 and Windows Network Data Usage Monitoring | Blue Blue Wave and tried it out. i screen shot the crap outta everything i was doing cus editing registry yaknow... But my Non-Paged pool is like 140mb now! and my usage is like 15% (at startup. Not sure if normal?) HOPEFULLY
everything is fixed now. Will update when i am certain again.

PS. if someone could tell me if the registry i edited would cause any adverse effects on my PC that'd be great! thanks! <3
