Computer Idling at 10GB memory usage after 1 week of no usage.

Hello, I have a 2015 model ASUS ROG GL 511JW laptop with 16GB DDR3 RAM and 4GB GTX 960M GPU with Intel i7 4720HQ processor. I decided to leave it on for 1 week and did nothing on the device. I let it idle for a whole week and at the end, I found that the memory usage from day 1 @ 2GB usage goes up to 10 GB on day 7. Fun thing is that the memory usage listed under the processes bar of task manager does not add up to even 2GB! Is it possible that my computer is being mined off of? or what could be the possible reason of this error? I'vetried updating all my drivers, used the laptop without it's battery connected, minimized total monitors used. But I still use massive memory chucks until I restart the device.

High Gpu Usage by "cssrs.exe" and "dwm.exe"

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are facing issues with high GPU usage on your PC, and I certainly appreciate your efforts in trying to resolve the issue by following certain troubleshooting steps.



One of the things that I can suggest is performing a Clean Boot on your PC and see if the issue persists. Refer the article

How to perform a clean boot in Windows



Performing a clean boot will start the computer with minimal set of drivers and programs, to determine whether a background program is causing the issue. Some of the Startup programs will not load after performing a clean boot on the computer.
However, that functionality will return when you reset the computer to start normally after finishing the troubleshooting.



If the GPU usage is normal after performing Clean Boot, then please refer the section
How to determine what is causing the problem after you do a clean boot
to identify the root cause of the issue.



Note: Please refer the section
Reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting to boot the computer in to normal mode after troubleshooting



Let us know how it goes.
