  1. Help with MemCompression eating RAM (I think?)


    Hello all, so I was recently running two programs on my computer, one was a server for a separate system, and one was the game Satisfactory (Coffee Stain Studios). Importantly, I built the server program, and am confident it is not causing the problems I'm seeing. Also, I was performing a long-term test of a factory in Satisfactory. I've only had CPU problems in my rig, and never had any RAM or GPU problems.

    My rig is as follows:

    -Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon 6th Gen (32gb Ram, Intel i7, no touchscreen) -Gigabyte Aorus 2070 Gaming Box -Thinkpad Thunderbolt 3 Professional Dock for peripherals

    I came back to Satisfactory after leaving the computer to do its thing for almost exactly 60 hours, with still only the server, and Satisfactory running, to find my game lagging much worse than expected. I checked Task Manager, and to my surprise, it said that I was using 99% of my memory. I figured it was due to my continuing game session in Satisfactory, so I saved it and exit the game. However, I was still at 99% RAM usage according to Task Manager. I did some research, as even days later, I still was barely able to use the computer, and found about better memory reporting tools, and about windows memory compression, and figured out that MemCompression was responsible for all of my missing used memory. The only thing I couldn't find is how to fix it.

    There's one big caveat though: because of my server running, I CAN'T restart my computer, or even put it to sleep.

    Please help, as my server is starting to run a little slower.

    Win-10 eating up ram ?...

    I know there is a problem with Google chrome eating up all the ram on my Macs.

    I think it is doing the same thing on my Win-10 computers.

    As soon as I close Google chrome browser my ram usage drops back down to normal.

    How can I print out the list of running processes ?

  3. Service host eating my RAM

    I'm currently using a Huawei Matebook 13, it has 8 gigs of RAM and it runs pretty well, but I've faced a single, big problem with it. The RAM usually overloads and collapses after some usage time, which makes everything start crashing, making me force
    restarting my laptop. I've confirmed that the only reason for this is the service host tasks eating 1-1.5% of the RAM each, today I just turned on the computer and left it like that, without running anything, after a few hours I checked the task manager and
    the RAM was at a 90% usage, with a couple tasks from service host eating up to 2% of the RAM, plus the other 40-50 service host tasks eating over 1% each. I've already searched a lot about this and I haven't been able to solve it. Also, I have just a few startup
    tasks, so I really don't think that's the problem.
