Win 10 Service Host: Local System slowly eating up all the RAM

[KaarelRh]

https://gyazo.com/3fc9e55c258959cc7a29c55f3628320b -and it keeps ticking, in 15min it went up by about 100mb.

I have MSI GS60 laptop with 16GB of RAM and Win10 with anniversary update done, and
Service Host: Local System is just slowly eating up all the RAM, until my laptop crashes.
I have tried different solutions that have helped others, but none seem to have worked for me.

Edit: When I ended Service Host: Local System's process from task manager it went to 20MB and started slowly climbing again, and allso after shutting it down, little over 4GB of my RAM is still used by something not associated with my local account http://prntscr.com/d4mfa2

Download Process explorer and run it as admin (it comes from Microsoft so its safe)

the default view is tree structure meaning like your task manager screen, it will show what processes are under local host, but unlike the other one, it shows the ram usage of each part so you can see what is eating your ram

Private bytes = actual ram usage
Working set = Ram + page file usage

This page shows what all the colours and headings mean, link at bottom of it shows how to use it to find problems. You can right click headers and run an av scan from within the program.

click on the process header and it resorts the columns to show whats using it. I could guess its windows update judging by whats in that list, it might be an update or just shop apps updating themselves.

try this
right click start button
choose command prompt (admin)
type SFC /scannow and press enter
once its run, copy paste the below command into same window:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and press enter

this might fix it for you

Didn't help, restarted laptop after and can see same process ticking up its ram usage...

your image here, i think the memory used figure includes page file usage and also isn't looking at total ram but just the amount currently being used. so 2667mb was 42% of the total memory being used, not total available: http://prnt.sc/d4mfa2

try turning off superfetch: http://www.technipages.com/windows-enable-disable-superfetch

It could be your install is corrupt, try this: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/16397-repair-install-windows-10-place-upgrade.html
