Windows 10: Desktop Window Manager uses 3go out of 7 of my RAM - What is happening ?

Hi,

Since a few month, Desktop Window Manager uses a huge part of my RAM more than 2go, can go up to 3go. That's not acceptable. It can completely freeze my PC for hours yes, for hours. I have to force stop it nearly every day.

My Windows 10 Pro is up to date, all my drivers are up to date, and I already run a system image check DISM. Changed nothing.

What can I do to search what is happening ? What should I do ? How can I learn more ?





Thanks in advance for any answer. Any help is welcome


EDIT :


After searching a bit more, I found this :

and this :https://www.intel.com/content/www/u...hics-for-8th-generation-intel-processors.html


And I am using an Intel HD Graphics 630 ! I'm not 100% sure but that really looks like the issue I'm having

Desktop using 23,9/24GB of RAM

So recently I installed an additional 16GB of RAM in my pc and everything was runnning fine. I upgraded to Windows 10 and installed all the programs I use etc.
Now my pc was always using around 30% of the ram, however it soon became 60% and now it is using 99% from startup.

Here are some steps I already performed with the results from those steps:

• I ran a virus scan, with nothing showing up
• I checked my startup programs, nothing wrong with it in my eyes
• I ran sfc /scannow which showed up with nothing aswell
• I ran Kasperky AntiRootKit, nothing showed up
• I ran Malwarebytes which showed up clean
• I ran SuperAntiSpyware professional, nothing showed up(except some cookies which are deleted now
• I ran WPR -cancel in CMD, No trace profiles running

The programs that start when my PC boots are:



I hope anyone of you can help me find a solution to this. I know windows10 leverages memory better than windows 7, but it shouldnt be 100% use even when idle.

Internet Explorer uses a lot of RAM

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

As per your description, I understand that internet explorer is consuming more ram space. We will assist you to resolve the issue.

This issue may arise due to:

• Opening multiple tabs at a time.
• Using add-on.
• Virus.
• Multiple internet explorer opens in Task manager.

I suggest you to follow the steps below and also check whether multiple Internet explorer process are running at the same time.

• Press Ctrl + Alt + Del
• Open Task manager.
• Click on Detail Tab.
• You will see MicrosoftEdgeCP.exe file.
• Right Click and End Task.
• Restart the computer.

If the issue persists, I suggest you to perform virus scan by using Windows Defender Offline Beta from the below link and check if it helps.
