Unusual behavior in Windows 10's Task Manager regarding memory usage or bugs.
Unusual behavior in Windows 10's Task Manager regarding memory usage or bugs.
I haven't tried VMMap yet—it seems it focuses on one process at a time, not a comprehensive tool like poolmon for full system checks. EDIT: I’ll perform a detailed driver review, but will this affect my original problem? (Is the non-paged pool causing Task Manager to show high RAM usage?)
Reviewed every driver and confirmed they matched manufacturer guidelines for all hardware components. Checked brand and model details of each device using drivers, and found no reliable evidence of memory leaks. Possible recent driver updates might have caused minor issues, but it’s unlikely.
I reviewed the system thoroughly using MBAM and a complete scan with the latest definitions. Everything looks clean—no malware detected. I also ran scans after installing Avast and Avira, both confirmed no issues. Regarding your concern about Task Manager consuming memory, it’s possible if there are background processes or resource hogs, but since the system is clean and recent scans show nothing suspicious, it’s unlikely to be the cause unless something unusual is running.
