Hey everyone! I am having trouble with high memory leaks on my computer. My quick check shows the problem is coming from Nvidia drivers, so I tried these things: 1. Re-installing the drivers. 2. Installing an old version of the drivers (from way before this started). To remove them, I used "Uninstall device" in Device Manager and checked "Attempt to remove the driver for this device." Then I followed the steps above again. But neither option worked. My computer is an Asus G15 GA503QM with an AMD chip and Nvidia RTX 3060. It has a 2021 ROG Zephyrus G15 GA503 | Gaming Laptops｜ROG - Republic of Gamers｜ROG Global ROG Zephyrus G15 that puts great gaming power in a very thin 1.9kg case. It runs fast and smoothly with an AMD Ryzen™ 9 5900HS CPU and a GeForce RTX™ 3080 GPU. It has up to WQHD 165Hz/3ms screens for speed and detail, Dolby Atmos sound from six speakers for surround sound, and more at rog.asus.com. Please look at the attached screenshots so someone can help me with this problem. I want to leave uninstalling Windows as my last option. Any help would be appreciated!

did you run Latencymon? I often see Nvidia showing up at the top of the list even though that's not necessarily why things are slow. There might be other reasons like lots of video processes using memory while some data isn't ready yet to show clearly in my simple report. You can check a specific file called pooltag.txt from this link: https://github.com/zodiacon/PoolMonXv2/b...ooltag.txt Have you updated all your drivers? Maybe Armoury Crate or the Nvidia ones? Did you try both AMD and Nvidia display drivers like most people do for gaming?
