    Memory leak issue

    The term "memory leak" means that an application fails to return all its RAM to the operating system when it exits. The leftover RAM is unusable to the operating system.

    Step one is to identify the application that is leaking memory. Step two is to contact the application's developers and provide as much detailed data on the memory leak as you can. For example: which processes are still in RAM after the application exits
    and how much RAM they occupy. Application developers never want their applications to leak memory and they will be grateful for the details you provide, particularly if they can replicate the leak on their own computers.

    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.

    Windows 10, slow memory leak troubleshooting

    Traces take 2x file size in RAM so it would need 14Gb of ram. That would force the vast majority of it to be paged to disk making it nearly impossible to examine. In the above trace you had 8Gb in standby lists which is a good thing. It did not look like
    there was a memory leak. Memory leaks will show an ever increasing line on the trace. Yours was flat.

    If it takes that long to experience the problem wouldnt an occasional reboot to free the ram fix the issue?
