Windows 10: Very high virtual memory usage and possibly "handle" leak

Hi,

I have 2x8 DDR4 3000Mhz RAM. I use 5-6 GB of them in general.

But my virtual memory is 45GB -i did not set any limit it is managed by Windows-

Why it happens? The most RAM consumer software is Google Chrome which I use and it crashes some times with "Out of memory" error.



43 GB virtual memory used while 8GB RAM available

And under the task manager, "system" process shows 300+ handles is it normal?

Windows 10 Pro 20H2 19042.867

Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0

High CPU usage & Memory leak

Hello,

I've a leak memory and high CPU from lanmanServer and System (ntoskrnl.exe).

The system (ntoskrnl.exe) is on 19%-20% CPU usage all the time and the Lanmanserver is starting from 40MB RAM and will continue until the Memory usage will be full and eventually the machine will crash. Do you have any idea
how to fix this?

I think that was started when i updated windows 10 to 2004 version, Also the Windows update window is all the time is on progress with the Yellow icon, unless i get in and check if there are a new version and then the icon
change to green.

 

high memory usage

Nothing in any of the images you present indicate that your memory usage is high. Moreover, because Windows is a virtual memory system, it is best when it can use as much of physical memory as possible. If another process needs physical memory, Windows
will swap a less active process out so the higher priority process can make use of the memory.

 

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:

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