The past few days I have noticed dwm.exe (desktop window manager) excessively hogging RAM. My setup hasn't changed (1x 27" monitor, 1x 16" monitor - both on 1080p 144hz) and for some reason over time dwm slowly takes up RAM varying from 10GB - 16GB (out of my 32GB).
If I launch a program that requires RAM dwm.exe is using the system will reallocate the RAM to that program but otherwise if I don't do anything it slowly takes more available RAM (rather than the system optimizing this and lowering the usage dwm needs to run properly...)
I rarely have more than 5/6 windows open at once and following an article that referenced older iGPUs having memory leak issues there was a supposed patch for CPUs with iGPUs from 6th gen to 11th gen (my CPU wasn't listed in that list - specs below)
I did also check Intel DSA with no luck
Specs:
i7 8750H w UHD630
RTX 2070MQ
32GB DDR4 3200 (2x16)
3TB Total (Nvme) SSD storage
