    My memory usage has suddenly increased and my pc has generally become slower than before.


    One day when i opened my computer the brightness bar was missing and my games were suddenly lagging very much. I tried to figure out the problem and it turns out that my memory is 80% i think it is called RAM memory but im not sure because i dont know computer terms that well. my computer memory for files and music and stuff is fine with 402 GB still left in use even when im not using it much. I couldn't figure out which app was using this much space. Please help.

    :)

    Memory leak (usage gradually increases)

    I ran PoolMonX first with the memory usage high, and then right after rebooting. Here are the two screenshots I took.
    Just after rebooting:

    High memory usage:

    From these screenshots, it seems as if Process objects and Thread objects are the main culprits behind the non-paged pool leak.

    Memory leak (usage gradually increases)

    I understand the overall memory usage is gradually increasing, but is the non-paged pool also increasing?
