Unusual large payment fees with unclear origin – what can be done to trace them?
Unusual large payment fees with unclear origin – what can be done to trace them?
Due to an unexpected spike in committed memory—84GB in this instance—the usual diagnostics didn’t reveal anything unusual in Resource Monitor or Process Hacker. I recall reading about potential causes before, but can’t recall the exact methods now. One possibility was checking the non-paged pool for driver issues, though everything appears normal here.
Thanks in advance! The WDK rings up familiar, so it seems poolmonX is definitely superior. I restarted after about half an hour, checking for any leftover services that might be paused, but nothing came to the surface—especially since it was running at driver level. I disabled the pagefile to free up space, as it had ballooned to 70GB and my drive was nearly full. I’ll keep an eye out if this happens again.
Hmm looks like it's the storage, actually paged... 3.5GB already, was at 2.5 when I started looking. It might have started with the 21H1 update or KB5003214 that I installed 2 days ago since it wasn't an issue before and nothing else changed
Consider checking the web browser first, as Chrome is often associated with memory issues.
And of course I can't since KB5003214 is non-removable It's at 4+GB now, I reenabled pagefile so it doesn't crash during the night, and it'll give me an opportunity to take a screenshot with a freaking 80GB kernel mem leak to submit to the feedback hub, with a bit of luck it'll spark some attention...
It depends on whether the update was a complete install rather than a minor patch shared via WU. For minor updates, PoolmonX shows columns as 32-bit integers because they shouldn't reach that size, which is why it looks broken—we'll need to check the source tomorrow.
Updated the visuals, now supports larger scaling and captures screenshots.
Considering ISLC? It doesn't seem tailored to the exact issue, but it could be connected. Give it a shot. Adjust settings to half of your installed RAM. https://www.wagnardsoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1256
