Uh I need help again after a day it came back again and now I'm worried everything is updated but the things is that I'm trying to install the Intel Graphics Windows 10 DCH Driver on the intel site but its stuck at 0 its been 10 minutes and is still at 0 I think this is the cause of the problem but I can't download it for some reason, its stuck at 0 percent

They reportedly have sorted out the problem. 5 pages here.
https://community.intel.com/t5/Grap...akage-with-Intel-HD-Graphics-630/td-p/1222297

Is this the page you downloaded the driver from?
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/29957/Intel-Graphics-Windows-10-DCH-Drivers?product=126790

 

[Elkin]

Uh I Think I Fixed It Again I downloaded the display driver on the hp site which scans my pc (I'm using a pre-built) and it fixed the dwm problem but the drivers of the DCH is still not installed

here's the link to the page I was trying to download https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/intel-driver-support-assistant.html

it scanned my pc and found updates

edit: should I download the drivers on the site you gave?

 

[Johnwmel]

It's wait & see now. If no more problems, leave things as they are.

If needed, try the driver on the link I gave you.

Click on Update to install that driver, then test.

If the problem remains, try your Intel link again.

It half fixed it,
now it just slowly adds up the longer I use the computer
before I did the update its was at least after 5 minutes there's already 1GB of ram it's taking
now after 10 minutes, there's only about 400mb but it's still rising

i tried the link its still stuck at 0, i think ill leave it about after and hour and see if its at least change its percentage

I would uninstall your AV with their uninstaller & test. The MS AV ( which is what I use ) will then kick in.

Uh wait before I do that I tried the looking for updates and well to my surprise
there a more windows update ill try updating them and see what happens
I mean yesterday it said it was up to date
and now there are 4 more windows update

 

[Johnwmel]

Yep, definitely updates first.

I haven't done what you recommend
but I tried to restart and restart my pc
i figured out that its chances

The first boot was taking a lot of ram
The second was taking a lot of ram as well
third was normal it was only about 60mb
fourth was a lot of ram
the fifth boot was normal

so I came to the conclusion it's by chances/random but if this problem keeps on going
(ex:always taking a lot of ram)
ill try what you said
