    Is my data being leaked?


    I am running windows 10, and i accidentally clicked on a instagram bot link. After a while my computer acted weird alt + tab not working properly, random desktop popped up. Then when i went to restart it, there was a process called ".Net.-BroadcastEventWindow.4.0.0.0.2bf8098.0" preventing me from restarting. What is this process and should i be worried? Also worth mentioning i have xbox game bar "record last 30 seconds enabled"

    :)

    Memory leak issue

    The term "memory leak" means that an application fails to return all its RAM to the operating system when it exits. The leftover RAM is unusable to the operating system.

    Step one is to identify the application that is leaking memory. Step two is to contact the application's developers and provide as much detailed data on the memory leak as you can. For example: which processes are still in RAM after the application exits
    and how much RAM they occupy. Application developers never want their applications to leak memory and they will be grateful for the details you provide, particularly if they can replicate the leak on their own computers.

  3. Data leak on Lumia 650

    I have discovered there is not straightforward method to get to the option to turn off background data for apps. You need to search Background in the System screen and then you are taken to the view where you can toggle off background data from the list
    of apps. It seems to me that it would make sense to have this available through the Data Usage and then the Usage Details View.
