I have 16gb or DDR4 RAM and recently it started getting high usage for no reason. So I did some researching and found out its a memory leak because my paged and nonpaged pools are in high usage (as shown below). To fix this I updated my GPU driver, which worked, for like two days :(... But now it's doing it again and its not my GPU this time because that's up to date. So please help me figure this out. Below will be a link to screenshots of all my drivers from DriverView and a SC of my task manager.

Memory Leaks aren't fixed by reinstalling drivers, it's due to a corruption in the OS. Create your bootable installer for Windows 10 using Windows Media Creation Tools and then reinstall the OS, after you backup all critical content from your existing OS installation drive.

You will also need to make sure you're on the latest BIOS version for your motherboard. If you have BIOS updates pending, gradually work your way to the latest version.
