    Standby Memory filling up quickly


    I understand that this seemed to be a Windows 10 problem, and any solutions I find online don't seem to help. My standby memory fills up my free space on my laptop so quickly, and I don't know what could be causing it. It's hindering my game performance causing minor glitches during the game and just running a task to empty my standby memory doesn't seem to work because it builds up so quickly. Is there anybody that knows what I'm talking about and is there any way to fix this problem? this started a couple of months agoThank you in advance,Evan

    :)

  2. question on standby memory

    It is all in order
    Standby memory is ram held in reserve by Windows - for use by the system if needed. - hardware etc.
    If processes require more ram than is shown as free, then the standby memory is released by the systme as necessary

    Here you can see more detail
    Releasing Standby memory

    as on post 2

    and from Microsoft

    =============
    With regard to your split second lags, when do these occur - browsing, gaming, etc. More information is required please.

    Releasing Standby memory

    This is the first I have heard of any issues with Standby list memory causing issues outside of games.
    I know there were a lot of reports around 1809 of games having issues where the standby list didn't release memory and games would stutter. There are a few programs that can clear up this issue. I have used both and they do work but I only used it for games, never noticed any issues in windows applications.
    ISLC (Intelligent standby list cleaner) by Wagnarsoft and Processlasso by Bitsum can clear the standby list automatically.

    Releasing Standby memory

    That is the thing, standby memory isn't released. It slowly fills all remaining ram and than game crashes/freezes, because of memory leak. Even if you have 32GB ram same thing happens. It is long time known problem, yet microsoft didn't do anything. Game runs fine without standby memory. It is residue from time computers had 512MB ram and windows had to page things to page file and extend memory and memory was also slow so Windows used standby memory to prefetch things into ram.

    Even if you had 128GB ram, it would probably happen eventually. You can clean standby memory with something like ISLC, but at that time game freezes on a moment, which annoying and standby memory fills quickly again. So you will experience freezes, each time it is cleared. But than it works completely fine even with 0 stanby memory. Battlefield 3 required 4GB ram recommended specs, yet people even with 16/32GB of ram complained on memory leak and game freezing, when all remaining free memory was contained... It must be Windows problem, but microsoft either don't care, or don't want to fix it. You can use page file, which will wear down your ssd and slow things down, if you put that on hdd. Even it is used rarely.
