Windows 10: Re-appearance of an old bug in memory management.

I recently experienced severe problems with my computer after the usual updates. I am running an HP Envy All-in-one with 8 Fig of Ram etc and have had no normal problems. I leave my Updates in auto and check from time to time to see what has ben involved. Generally it is the usual security improvements; but nothing major.

A few days ago I suddenly started to see a massive down drop in my memory availability - I run a resources manager from Advanced Systems Care - and the flyout reported my memory maxed out and also my disc access cache due to exceptional system usage. I checked and there was nothing running apart from normal services. I cleared the cache manually but the relief was small and only temporary. This happened several times until yesterday when I ran the Systems Care Drivers scan which reported a required and just released update and then installed same. Instant cure - the temperatures re-adjusted and the memory usage returned to normal. The update was from Microsoft and appears to be for the Microsoft intel engine or similar. I looked further into this and it appears to have occurred some years back via the Reddit forum when businesses were being swamped by machine crashes with similar symptoms I just experienced. Now that I am back to normal - I feel it only fair to report this in case any one else has experienced similar problems and hasn't yet kept all their drivers up to date.


Hope this is of use to someone - including the Microsoft engineers - it is pretty frightening to see your machine in apparent meltdown!!
