Issues with recalling information are common.
Issues with recalling information are common.
It really made sense when I noticed the problem getting worse—it’s been getting worse over time. I’ve always been fine with 16GB of RAM, but now I’m seeing more issues lately.
As discussed earlier, you'd need one program to fully utilize all its resources and gradually increase usage until the system stopped working. A background indexing tool on Linux once developed a memory leak, consuming my entire RAM within 1–2 hours. Once it began swapping heavily, the system halted completely until a reboot. It took minutes to check via Task Manager what was happening. In short, what you're observing isn't a memory leak—multiple apps using some memory aren't problematic.
