Windows 10: Memory Problem

Posts : 8
Windows 10 Hello,

I'm having an issue with memory. I've attached screen shots of both
my memory usage & process tab. My system is using up 98% memory
in idle. It does say "Non-paged pool @ 14.5gb". I'm not too sure what
that means, but I do however think there is an issue with that.

-Edit. I've also noticed when my memory is going crazy windows does
not shut down when I click shut down, it simply just re-starts very
quickly and never shuts down. I have to hard crash it by holding the
power button, when I then re-start it manually the memory problem
seems xed. I don't know what triggers it to come back nor if it truly is
tied into the 'not shutting down' issue.

Any idea on how to x this? It seems to be making my whole system

run slow. Thanks ahead of time,
-Steve

The problem is the Non-paged pool. Typically this would be caused by

I notice you have a Killer network Manager in your list. There have
Posts : 2,581 been problems with the Windows Network Data Usage Monitoring
64bit Win 10 Pro
ver 1703 Build
Driver service which in combination with a Killer network driver starts
15063.540 to ll up the Non-Paged Pool memory. This was in W8.1 and the
suggested x is altering the registry key value of the Start entry to 4
in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Ndu\ to
disable the Windows Network Data Usage Monitor Driver from
starting.

See https://bluebluewave.wordpress.com/2...ge-monitoring/

Worth a try in your system I would think.

Thanks everyone for the quick responses. I've updated the killer
networking drivers and reset my whole machine. Memory at the
moment is not giving me troubles. However the problem does come
and go.

If the problem arises again, I'll try philc43's suggestion with altering the
registry key and see if that clears it up. If needed I'll return for further
help, it's holding up at the moment. Appreciate the assistance and
pointing out the issue with Killer Networking.

Thanks again,

Hello,
Posts : 8 After updating my KillerNetworking Driver and spending
Windows 10
approximately 2.5 hours using the laptop. I noticed the issue came
back and the non-paged pool memory was building back up. - I double
checked the Drivers and noticed the Ethernet driver was disabled due
to the update on the driver - It said installation was unsuccessful and
device was not working properly. (it was using my WiFi even tho
connected via Ethernet).

I rolled back my driver and continued with philc43's solution by

changing the registry key value. The issue still continues with 4.6gb of
non-paged pool memory.

Anything else I can attempt to x this problem?

Try Uninstalling the Killer network drivers and software, then
Posts : 8,794 reinstalling the drivers only. Do not install the software program that
Windows 10
Enterprise and
goes along with it. That causes a lot of people a lot of problems. It is
Pro/Windows 7 the software and not the drivers so much. Also, if you see that you are
Enterprise/Linux
Mint on wi , disconnect from the wi and force it to use the Ethernet. That
is not uncommon. I assume you checked the check box to connect
automatically.
