    dwm.exe high memory


    dwm.exe or desktop window manager has high memory when i open any other program. It doesn't matter what program it is. Its making my computer black out. No cursor. But still sound. Its not like 30 mb memory. Its 1,000 mb. The cpu usage is always above 5%. Using intel i5.

    kill dwm.exe windows 10 pro 64bit

    I found this link

    What is dwm.exe and why is it using so much memory?

    With this note: "The steps below only work for Windows Vista and Windows 7. Desktop Windows Manager is not displayed in the Services window on Windows 8 and Windows 10, and therefore cannot be turned off or disabled."

    These links have suggestions for improving performance:
