Windows 10: Memory leak

Since long, i don't know long... i have been having high memory usage on my computer, from version 1909 to 2004. I can't see any process with high usage on Task Manager, so I searched and searched for the solution and tried the basic solution, Disable Superfetch (SysMain), change Ndu start value to 4, ClearPageFileAtShutdown to 1, whatever. Nothing helps.

I don't have Razer software thing, Killer network driver or any OEM softwares that could cause the problem, they mentioned. My PC is custom made. I've scanned for virus, nothing. Resetted network, which will clean up and reinstall drivers, nothing helped. My drivers are looking fine and are updated. I used RamMap to empty all (i'm not sure if empty all would cause system instability) and it indeed helped... a lot. memory usage reduced a hell lot but it would increase again later.

I read this article https://medium.com/@allenkuo/out-of-memory-find-leaked-ram-9200a1b8164 . didn't help because I don't see any issue with my apps, they working fine. Or is it? see imgur link way below

Tried this one but I don't see the file MemUsage.etl https://superuser.com/questions/116...k/1160640?noredirect=1#comment2392762_1160640

I have 16 GB RAM. I clean installed my PC 5 months ago and i tried my best to keep it clean. Use portable apps as possible on other drive to keep C drive clean. I don't use booster, ccleaner, uninstaller or any such

On startup, it start with 3.7 GB. After idle an hour, it goes around 9 GB already.

I'm out of idea what could have caused.

Please see my screenshots, Task manager, RamMap, Kernel pool: https://imgur.com/a/95ENkZo

PS: My english is not the best

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.

 

Power Toys run memory leak

There's nothing that anyone here can do about a memory leak. Only the developers of leaking software can fix leaks in their software. This is a community forum. I suggest posting your issue on MSDN.
