    Since last couple of months I have been experiencing high RAM usage by Desktop Window Manager (up to even 3 GB). Can someone please confirm if it is normal or should I worry about this case.I have my new laptop optimized and also the specs are pretty good (9750H, 1660ti, 16 GB RAM) so what is the reason of one process taking even 3 GB of RAM? Thanks for your opinion and solution (if needed)!

  3. Desktop Window Manager High GPU Usage in Windows 10

    Hey everyone,

    i got the same Problem since two days. My PC configuration is a Gigabyte 2070 Super 8GB and a Ryzen 7 3700X and ive got every update from Windows and Geforce experience. I am wondering why Windows doesnt said anything to this Problem after seeing this thread
    being 20 Pages Long. Does anybody tried These Solutions
    https://appuals.com/fix-desktop-window-manager-high-cpu-usage-dwm-exe/
    ?

    First i thought the cause is Google Chrome because it made high gpu and Volt usage too but after an uninstall the Problem was still there.

    Is there any Suggestion how to solve the Problem. If this link is working please tell me.

    High RAM usage by Desktop Window Manager

    Desktop Window Manager: extremely high RAM usage

    After a recent Windows 10 update (presumably the anniversary update) I have noticed that Desktop Window Manager will start to use an extremely high amount of RAM while running applications that previously I had no issue with.

    The situation I am experiencing this is when I am playing a game (Football Manager 2016) on one monitor while streaming video via Chrome or IE on a second monitor. Previously, I have done this with no issue, and could have the PC in this state for hours
    on end with no problem.

    However, since the update I have been getting the following error message after Football Manager 2016 for a while:


    High RAM usage by Desktop Window Manager c5424e91-10ab-493d-837e-c2aa5c91fe4d.jpg


    It seems that it may be Desktop Window Manager that is hogging excessive amounts of memory. For example:


    High RAM usage by Desktop Window Manager 510e6080-db6d-4ca3-9b7b-711a2ad04fd3.jpg


    Is there a known issue with Desktop Window Manager? I have contacted the developers of Football Manager 2016 in the first instance and they suggested this looks like a memory leak in Desktop Window Manager.
