The leak is fixed when I quit the Nord app. When I run Nord and disable Avira, the leak diminishes. But lurking a bit more on the Nord app I see this mshield.sys is associated with a new feature called "Threat protection". When I turn it on, the driver file is created, when I turn it off it...

I downloaded it from the official website and I have an active subscription. I'll reinstall it just to be sure. Also, I emailed them and they said "This issue that you are having is known, we are working on a fix for it, however, we would rather not give you an estimation when we do not...

It's saying it's up to date When I quit the app the mshield.sys is deleted automatically, I tested this now

Indeed, I saw that yesterday and disabled NordVPN from the startup. It seemed to have solved the memory leak. It was very likely the mshield.sys the problem as you and @Mandark pointed out. I'll run it today without the VPN and reinstall it later. This is the image of Driverview right now, with...

I says FMfn and TSSM are using the most Bytes. FMfn associated with fltMgr.sys and TSSM with mshield.sys, both system files. Now at 32%. When it reach >80% I'll run poolmon again https://ibb.co/z4kZXSp

@Mandark At that moment postman was doing nothing. I used the same NordVPN app on my old computer (16GB RAM) and this problem did not occur. Also, I was having this RAM usage issue when none of these apps were running a few hours after a fresh restart, except for NordVPN.

https://ibb.co/j8bMspT https://ibb.co/ZWCzGGx Some guy on the Windows forum said it could be a memory leak in some driver. I'll try to reinstall :/ Theses images above were taken when the RAM usage was on 31%, which is still very high for what I'm doing.

I think I tried this at some point, but since I reset the windows, now the updates are working well

@Colif @mdd1963 More than 90% now. https://ibb.co/M8M1Tfv https://ibb.co/y4NXYdh https://ibb.co/CHLVhv7 https://ibb.co/pwCwVgx https://ibb.co/LJ1Bt8p

Very rarely. I have just disabled the fast startup, now the shutdown button is "freeing" the ram like the restart button did. Yesterday, after restarting my PC and the ram usage going back to 13%, I noticed a slow and stead increase of ram usage until I turned the PC off again. It went up to...

Every time I checked in the past few days it was high (> 50%). Weirdly, after restarting and opening the same apps and doing the same things, the ram usage is not increasing, it remains at 14%. Maybe some specific program is leaking memory? I ran hitmanPro, as @Colif suggested, and it found...

Right after restarting it's 10% ~ 13%

The maximum value, filtering by "working set", is 1,566,164 K (Memory Compression). So apparently nothing is eating my RAM, idk why it's indicating 40GB then

It says 894 MB Non-paged pool, 32.4 GB Paged, 6.6 GB Cached

It says 94MB Hardware reserved, 40782 MB in use, 222 MB Modified, 8094 Stand By and 10MB Free. 8136 MB Available, 8353 MB Cached. Also, on the task manager, the sum of memory usage does not match the amount it's saying it's using
