For the first startup or after restart the system is seem normal for ram usage. but after long time several months for example the usage RAM consumption's taskhostw is growing up.

Runaway memory usage

On your suggestion I went to uninstall AVG. It offered to go into an on-demand mode (I can't remember the word it used to describe).
So I tried that instead of uninstalling. Upon reboot everything seemed unchanged. High CPU usage, memory growth, no good.

So I ran the uninstall. This moved along step by step ... until the last step (titled: replacing files) never completed. It left behind a bunch of its stuff in Program Files:
Code:

So I have a bunch of leftover crap ... which I'll probably just delete.

Anyway, after rebooting it seems that all is well. CPU usage is near zero. The fans are quiet. (Computer fans, not football fans!) *chuckle

Thanks for the quick reply.

 

How is this memory usage even possible?

Hello hsehestedt,

I now have admin rights so here are the outputs from the commands you asked for.

After the 1st screenshot, I had to close almost all programs, otherwise I wouldn't be able to use the machine.

Output of commands follows:

Thanks.

 

taskhostw memory exception error on shutdown

Windows displays a taskhostw memory exception error on shutdown. The error message cannot be captured. On reboot, I scanned it with Neuber and the file is genuine and not a virus. How can this be fixed?
