Windows 10: Memory leak ConT Nr22

Hey so i noticed my pc having barely any ram avaiable for no real reason. So i googled the issue and after going through poolmon the "drivers" in question are

ConT (4Gb), Nr22(3,4Gb), EtwB and a few more.

But i just cant locate them and find out what drivers these are. Iam kinda new to this stuff so i tried following steps:

This on Cmd

findstr /m /l /s ConT %Systemroot%\System32\drivers\*.sys

it just ignores it and i get no answer.

cd C:\Windows\System32\drivers

then

findstr /s ConT *.*

Still nothing

Now iam stuck with that. I have seen exactly those two (ConT and Nr22) being common with this issue.

Does anybody know how i should proceed or is it possible to tell what driver it is?

Again i have no idea about those things, but i would truly appreciate any help.

Memory leak detected with Poolmon with Tag Py28 and Nr22

I'm running windows 10 and I was able to resolve one of my memory leaks but I have detected another using Poolmon. These seem to have the tag Py28 and Nr22. I cannot seem to find either of these in the Pooltag.txt. How do I find the cause so I can resolve
it?

Tag Type Allocs Frees Diff Bytes Per Alloc

Py28 Nonp 4615 ( 0) 0 ( 0) 4615 45648592 ( 0) 9891

Nr22 Nonp 8 ( 0) 0 ( 0) 8 34343168 ( 0) 4292896

Some additional background. I upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1.

 

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.

 

Possible Memory Leaks in Windows 10

A memory leak occurs when an application closes and fails to release all its RAM back to the operating system.

The first step in dealing with a memory leak is to determine which application is leaking memory.

The next step is to contact that application's technical support with complete details of the memory leak, since the developers will want to fix the problem ASAP.
