    My memory usage is way higher than it should be and i cant seem to find the source. any fixes ?


    After about an hour or two of usage mainly chrome and/or spotify, my memory shoots up to 98% greatly slowing down my device and leading to crashes and audio stutters. The ram used by the background apps in my task manager do not add up to that and even after ending all of the tasks i'm still left with about 60/70% of ram usage that i can't trace back anywhere on my computer. Processor 11th Gen IntelR CoreTM i5-1135G7 @ 2.40GHz 2.42 GHz Installed RAM 16.0 GB 15.8 GB usable I have tried disabling startup apps, background apps and windows services, clearing page files and even thir

    How fix 4-times-higher CPU usage at idle?

    I suggest using the trial period of Tune Up Utilities to find your problem using "Program Deactivator"

    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.
