Hello! It seems Desktop Window Manager is consuming a lot of memory, especially when running games. After several hours, performance drops and lag occurs. Your experience matches what some users report with Windows 10 and 11 installations, which can vary widely depending on usage. Since you have a fresh 11th-gen install and ample RAM (32GB), it’s worth checking if the issue is related to the software itself or your system configuration. Consider reviewing resource usage, updating drivers, or trying a lighter desktop environment if needed. Let me know if you'd like more specific tips!

Updated the thread to the Windows subsection. Recommended using DDU for a fresh GPU driver setup.

Tests didn't find anything + It's a fresh windows install and I haven't downloaded anything except some stuff like Discord and Steam games. Usage still sits at few hundred MB.
