Discus and support System and compressed memory in Windows 10 Drivers and Hardware to solve the problem; System and compressed memory is not showing in task manager, is it because I have enough RAM? Thanks. 62163 Discussion in 'Windows 10 Drivers and Hardware' started by Edward, Aug 30, 2016.

    System and compressed memory is not showing in task manager, is it because I have enough RAM? Thanks.

    System and compressed memory and System interrupts processes use 100% of 1 CPU logical processor the whole time

    I've done the shutdown workaround so it is not reproducing right now. It's hard for me to believe that my data will be more useful than the many instances previously collected. From web search this problem is rampant. But in any case I'll be happy to help
    in case my data happens to be useful.

    I have the same issue on my surface pro 3.

    I tried shutdown, upgrade and after 1 month, still the same problem.

    My surface is always hot, the fan noisy....

    Surface pro 3 is a Microsoft official hardware. I have exclusively Microsoft software on it (Windows 10 forced upgrade, Office, VS..) except Photoshop And Adobe Reader. What a shame that Microsoft introduce this bug and cannot avoid it. Officially, they
    just say that is normal.

    System and compressed memory

    "In Windows 10, we have added a new concept in the Memory Manager called a compression store, which is an in-memory collection of compressed pages. This means that when Memory Manager feels memory pressure, it will compress unused pages instead of writing them to disk. This reduces the amount of memory used per process, allowing Windows 10 to maintain more applications in physical memory at a time. This also helps provide better responsiveness across Windows 10. The compression store lives in the System process’s working set. Since the system process holds the store in memory, its working set grows larger exactly when memory is being made available for other processes. This is visible in Task Manager and the reason the System process appears to be consuming more memory than previous releases.

    Before the update, mine indicated it wasn't compressed but now it is thanks to this new feature. I assume you're on the latest version of 10.

  6. It is shown as System (ntoskrnl.exe). You can check Memory Tab to see, if you have anything compressed.
