    Desktop Windows Manager is using 100MB of RAM


    Hello there. Today when I opened task manager I noticed desktop windows manager taking up about 100MB of my RAM. This is quite annoying because I only have 8GB of RAM 7.70 Usable and I've gotten into gaming and multi-platform programming. Any help here? Maybe it's normal on Windows 11 since of all the transparency effect and animations? I would really like to have a response. Thank you!

    :)

    Desktop Windows Manager High RAM Usage

    Ever since I got a new monitor, desktop window manager reaches incredible RAM usage. I've seen it allocate 43gb of RAM and use 7.5gb(I have 16gb of RAM). Desktop windows manager will slowly increase its RAM usage until I black screen and it gets reset. Does anyone have a fix for this?

    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 ?

    No restart button in task manager

    another easy way to kill tasks, download and install Winaero Tweaker(free) and theres a setting to add a Kill non responding tasks using the desktop right click menu. When you place your cursor on the desktop anywhere and right click the option is at the top of the list, Very handy and you dont have to go through all those steps and well Winaero Tweaker has alot of cool Windows tweaks. Just posting a different suggestion, Im sure your ok with what was suggested here.
