This is on Windows 10 pro, 2004, with 40Gb ram and a 5Gb page file (which did not get used at all). All through this the used amount increased and decreased, going back to 3.2Gb once both apps were closed, standby decreased by approx 5Mb at the end of the test. 5Gb but standby increased by approx 4Mb, I then loaded a 4K image, used went up by 1.2Gb, standby remained constant, I then opened Blender, used went up by 150Mb, standby increased by approx 4Mb again, I loaded a 400Mb staging file, used memory went up by 400Mb, I rendered the file, used went up by 2.4Gb then dropped by 2.4Gb once the render was complete. I'm wondering why you are seeing this behaviour (I don't believe it is a Windows issue, or at least not entirely), I just did a quick test, Windows states there is 7440Mb standby (cached memory), 3.2Gb in use, so I opened Gimp and used went up by.

BUT FACT: THAT WINDOWS TRIES TO COMPRESS MEMORY TO SAVE SPACE, ONCE YOU RUN OUT OF FREE MEMORY! AND THAT CAUSES PROGRAMS TO CRASH. Even it is used rarely.ĮDIT: IT TURNS OUT, IT WASN'T MEMORY LEAK. You can use page file, which will wear down your ssd and slow things down, if you put that on hdd. It must be Windows problem, but microsoft either don't care, or don't want to fix it. Battlefield 3 required 4GB ram recommended specs, yet people even with 16/32GB of ram complained on memory leak and game freezing, when all remaining free memory was contained. But than it works completely fine even with 0 stanby memory. So you will experience freezes, each time it is cleared. You can clean standby memory with something like ISLC, but at that time game freezes on a moment, which annoying and standby memory fills quickly again. It is residue from time computers had 512MB ram and windows had to page things to page file and extend memory and memory was also slow so Windows used standby memory to prefetch things into ram.Įven if you had 128GB ram, it would probably happen eventually. It is long time known problem, yet microsoft didn't do anything. Even if you have 32GB ram same thing happens. It slowly fills all remaining ram and than game crashes/freezes, because of memory leak. As soon as there is a request for memory from an app, the standby memory will be released for its use.That is the thing, standby memory isn't released.

While it's not being used by any apps standby memory will be used to cache disk access, recently use files and files or software you may be likely to access.

There apparently used to be something called RamMAP that was downloaded from MS to force the system to free Standby Memory, but it doesn't appear to work any more.ĭo I have a memory issue, and if so, do I need more page file? Less page file? Let the system manage the page file? Do I need to somehow make Windows 10 release a bunch of that Standby memory? If so, how? In the Resource Monitor I can sometimes see the system churning the pagefile. I don't REMEMBER ever seeing this in previous versions of Windows 10. And the Standby Memory STAYS at over 15GB whether Any of the Adobe products are running or not. When I looked at the resource monitor, of 32GB of memory, something over 15GB is reserved for 'Standby Memory' and the system shows around 97MB (yes, MB) available. When the Adobe products are up and running, everything on the system has major lag.

And it appears they've gotten WORSE in the current version.
