  1. desktop windows manager steadily increasing RAM usage


    When I boot up my computer DWM will be at around 50-60 mb even with multiple windows open. It steadily increases the entire time I use the computer, the only thing that will get it to go back down is resetting my pc. I've rolled back my graphics card drivers, I've updated my system, I've shut off background processes, I've done several full scans of my device and nothing has fixed it, identified the issue or helped at all. Thankfully I have enough RAM in my system to deal with up to about 4gb before it starts to really affect things but as it stands I can't use my device for longer than a few

    Task Manager RAM Usage

    My computer is running 64 bit Windows 10 with 6 GB of RAM.

    I have been monitoring my memory usage via Task Manager and occasionally download tasklist via the cmd line.

    What has been bothering me is that my RAM usage at reboot starts at 34%, and left alone, increases to ~75-80% without running any programs.
    (I do have start up programs including McAfee, Dropbox, Seagate console, gadgets, etc.)

    When I analyze the tasklist download file via Excel, the total RAM memory usage is approximately 3.1 GB at 79%.
    Doing the math, this means there is only 4 GB in use?

    I have 2 questions:

    1. Does Task Manager list all the RAM usage or is there some background usage that is not shown.?

    2. Is there any other way to monitor RAM leakage?

  3. Unknown Constant RAM Usage

    Hi,

    To explore more on RAM usage by processes and see in-depth I advise you to open the Resource monitor, please follow the below steps.

    Step 1 :

    Open Task Manager

    Step 2:

    Click on Performance

    Step 3:

    At the bottom click on Open Resource Monitor

    Step 4:

    Under Resource Monitor windows click on Memory

    Step 5:

    Click on Working Set to list the top process utilizing the more RAM and then evaluate RAM usage.

    Regards
