I think the AMD Software Utility will notify me if I choose to install it but I only installed the driver itself. Again I tested tons of driver versions. Each one (after clean installing them with DDU) has this issue for me. I found that the GPU RADEON light will randomly turn on and off too...

So I finally caught an energy trace and found the culprit. It appears to be the AMD display driver "amduw23g" going haywire and waking my monitor. You can see in the Power>Device Dstate section, there are a lot of D3 signals from this driver. This appears very randomly too. I can't always get...

Okay I tried the default drivers and it made my system completely unstable. Like every driver was failing, I don't even know how to explain what all happened. I did make a discovery though, when I run an energy trace through command prompt (powercfg /energy /trace /d C:\Users\Me\Desktop...

Sadly restoring to any previous driver doesn't change this behavior. The only thing now is it seems completely random. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. And it appears to jot happen specifically when I initiate an energy trace in command prompt. I might be able to try this in a...

TL;DR Bolded I've had this issue for months (maybe longer). I'm not sure when it started, but here's what happens: My monitor will go into standby mode, after 3-7 minutes (no set amount of time) it will wake from standby, display nothing on the screen for a second (a black screen), then it...

Okay I think I may have discovered the cause of the memory leak. It was a program called rainmeter that seemed to be causing many instances of svchost.exe to open and not close. I uninstalled it and I don't see the RAM usage going up over the course of 6 hours. I'm going to leave my PC idle...

Here's the link to it now Okay so I got poolmon working. I took two screenshots from a fresh restart, then 7 hours later. You'll notice Proc is at the top of the list with almost 4x as much memory usage as the next process. View: https://imgur.com/a/kOPRuMm I went though the process going...

Does anyone know why these zombie processes keep increasing?

The goal here is to not have to reinstall everything on my computer and find the issue which is causing this so I don't have to reset everything every time I run into an issue. I like to learn about these things. Not to mention, me potentially reinstalling the driver or the program which is...

I'm struggling to find out what is eating up my memory on my Windows 10 PC. The longer I leave my PC on, the more RAM gets taken, but task manager will not show what is taking up all the memory. I have done some tests with RamMap, all I found is page table will increase slowly. Ran a sfc...

I use Windows Defender. I ran a full scan and turned up no (real) threats—it showed a few apps it thinks are malicious, which aren't. Nothing else was found and Edge is still showing as a blank icon

No luck! :( Scan passed successfully and the clean boot didn't make a difference.

No other app does this: Edge shows up as a blank white paper icon when I run it. On the desktop and on the start menu, it has an icon, even pinning it to the taskbar shows it having an icon, but when I run it, a new icon appears (the blank page) and I can't seem to fix it! I have tried...

Anything you'd recommend? I use iTunes because of how simple and seamless it is. I absolutely love it, nothing I have found even comes close to how sleek and user-friendly iTunes is. Maybe that's changed in 8+ years? :P

When I close iTunes, it will open my disc drive on my Windows 10 PC. Any idea why? If the tray is already open, it won't close it however, it just won't do anything.
