    Windows 11 Memory leak?


    Hi,I just upgraded to Windows 11 last week, things were going well but lately the computer lags. Today it has consistently increased ram usage up to 99% I have 32Gb even if I'm not running any programs. Resource Monitor & Task Manager show 99% use but not the program responsible. It takes about 45 minutes to go from boot to 99% usage, the only solution is to restart.I ran mempool and found the following culprit: CcWq Nonp 44899562 42417 22736995 11189 22162567 2255008032 3177408 101Any idea how to fix this? I can't find a driver associated with the CcWq string.

    :)

    Possible Memory Leaks in Windows 10

    A memory leak occurs when an application closes and fails to release all its RAM back to the operating system.

    The first step in dealing with a memory leak is to determine which application is leaking memory.

    The next step is to contact that application's technical support with complete details of the memory leak, since the developers will want to fix the problem ASAP.

    Windows 11 Memory leak?

    Memory leak issue

    The term "memory leak" means that an application fails to return all its RAM to the operating system when it exits. The leftover RAM is unusable to the operating system.

    Step one is to identify the application that is leaking memory. Step two is to contact the application's developers and provide as much detailed data on the memory leak as you can. For example: which processes are still in RAM after the application exits
    and how much RAM they occupy. Application developers never want their applications to leak memory and they will be grateful for the details you provide, particularly if they can replicate the leak on their own computers.
