This laptop is a few years old, so I don't think I'll be upgrading it. It's rarely used outside of my wife watching some videos on it at night to fall asleep. There doesn't seem to be any hard faults, and I'm guessing the memory that the computer keeps is the memory that's on "standby", which...

Ok, so I've been here before in regards to high memory usage on my desktop and we discovered that it was being used by one of Razer's services and was listed in the non-paged pool. Now I'm here because my laptop is using half of its available 8 GB of memory just sitting idly. I've downloaded and...

Well, I should've taken a screenshot of Process Explorer before killing that Razer program that I mentioned in the post above, but I didn't, so I can't really show you Process Explorer as it was before I did that. As for my motherboard, I'm using a MSI x470 Gaming Plus motherboard. Nothing...

Ok, this got me decent results. I didn't know you could show the non-paged pool in Task Manager. I ended a program called RzKLService.exe, which had one of Razer's many icons, so I'm guessing that was it. Once I ended that, the memory being used by the non-paged pool went down from 23.8 GB to...

What do you mean by "drag column"? I would assume there's supposed to be a hidden column by default? If so, I'm not seeing one. I followed the instructions for Process Explorer and I'm not seeing anything that's using obscenely high amounts of memory. As for PoolMon, here's another screenshot...

Hey, guys. Sorry I haven't been able to update this thread until now. Between the holidays and some other things, I haven't really had a chance to sit down and address this problem. However, that has also led to the problem getting worse, and simply restarting my computer doesn't seem to solve...

Thank you, guys. I've already tried using PoolMon before, as it's one of the many things I used to try and figure this out in the past, but I'll set it up soon and get you guys a log of things so we can go from there.

Yes. I kid you not. I have Version 1909 (Build 18363.900). I avoid Windows Update if I have the choice to because every time I have to update Windows on either mine or my girlfriend's PC, it ALWAYS causes some of issue with the system, itself, to the point where nothing works. I've filed many a...

This has ALWAYS been an issue. From the first installation of Windows to now, even when I do reinstallations. It's never gone away. I even installed more/new RAM and that didn't fix it.

That's one of the things I've tried already. All of my drivers are up-to-date, using both manual searching on manufacturers' websites, searching automatically online, and using third-party programs.

Ok, so I've been battling this problem for months now and I'm getting to the point where I don't even remember all the things I've already done and I just can't figure out how to stop it. Basically, I've been having to deal with my computer using upwards of half or more of my total available...

I'll read that article as soon as I wake up later today (it's 6:00 AM, here, and I've been up all night XD), but it was indeed a DCOM error that was causing a problem with the computer, as, if I remember correctly, it was responsible for causing constant blue screens. Thank you for the information.

Oh, ok, thank you.

You want me to make a new/duplicate thread of the Registry thread, you mean?

Hi, again. No, I'm not blaming anyone this time around, but I'm having the issue where my thread, https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/key-from-registry-missing-in-dcom.3588166/, is flagged as awaiting approval again. I DID clear my cache this time, and I have screenshots to show my issue...
