    Excessive memory usage


    How can Windows use so much memory and not have a way to clean it? When I installed it, the system didn't take up that much, I left the SDD only for the system and the HD for my programs, today I opened a guide on the Microsoft website to clean the C: disk, but there are practically no things to delete.

    Memory usage is excessively high while no programs are open


    Here are screenshots of the task manager and performance monitor:

    Could you make screenshots of the memory usages in 2 ways:
    • task manager, processes, filtered on 'memory' (click on the tab to filter)
    • task manager, performance, memory
    and post them

    What we see now from your screenshot doesn't provide an answer what is taking the amount of memory, because you didn't filter any usage.

    Excessive memory usage

    YourPhoneServer.exe - excessive RAM usage/memory leak?

    I noticed yesterday that YourPhoneServer.exe is using excessive RAM, it appears to have a memory leak as the RAM use increases all the time.

    Also, if I sign out of my PC or do a restart, I have to re-link the app for it to work again.

    Last update of the app was March 6th
