Hey there, I noticed your Windows 11 setup has a pretty unusual situation with the Desktop Window Manager using a massive amount of RAM—between 2.2GB and 3GB. It’s sitting idle on your desktop with no apps running and no activity in the taskbar. That definitely doesn’t match the usual usage. I found some online advice suggesting it should normally use around 100MB, so 3GB is way beyond what’s expected. You’ve tried updating GPU drivers, restarting Explorer, disabling fast startup, but nothing seems to help. What do you think might be causing this?
