I ran RamMap and figured that I have 2.7 Gbs of memory locked recently.
I don't remember installing any software in my laptop that might cause this.

Heck, all I installed was:
Daemon
Norton
CCCC Codecs
speedfan
WDK


I have never heard of VMs until I saw this but have no cluse how to free these RAMs. I don't think clean install will change the situation since I didn't install VRware. don't want to reinstall all the updates so last option.

I checked and don't have Hyper V turned on.

That 2.7Gbs appears like like 40 secs after I logged in. Is there a program I can use to know which driver/program booted at that time so I can isolate the culprit?
 
Ah, sorry, I ended finding the culprit, have been at it for over 12 hours and finally found it (was originally from another topic but i kinda ended looking for something else so made another topic).


The culprit is FastBootService. Lenovo probably locked some memory to boot faster but that memory remained locked even after the boot causing lots of trouble...
