Windows 10 memory leaking

Hi i have this problem for quite some time and I'm unable to solve it. First i noticed this, when windows start showing me error messages "Your computer is low on memory" when usually with the same apps running there were no problems. The longer uptime the worse it gets, so i began to suspect some leak is happening.


This is situation when the system uptime is 9 days (I'm hibernating twice a day, it's hibernated when i sleep and when i'm in work) and everything memory consuming is closed.

(memory usage 40% swap 48%; memory is 8GB swap (pagefile) is 2GB fixed)

(paged pool - 397 MB; nonpaged 206 MB; 8GB Ram, 319MB hw reserved (iGPU))


this means used memory is more then 3GB but sum in task manager - process tab is no more then 700 MB.


poolmon screen
(show something with tag fdmg that (if I understand that well) didn't free 2GB of memory.)


so i used findstr -l -m -s fdmg *.sys and got this http://i.imgur.com/0pnHbFs.png


and now, I'm lost, what to do now? My system have some issue, but i don't know where the paged and nonpaged looks ok in task manager, but still, something is eating my memory and not giving it back. What to do? Only reboot helps, but sometimes the memory leaks faster and rebooting every other day is really not solution, and I'd like to avoid reinstalling.


system specs: sandy bridge i3, 8GB ddr3 1333MHz, iGPU HD3000, SSD, 3x HDD, win10 pro x64 upgraded from win7 months ago.


EDIT: It's been some time and it seems to be fine, i had 20 days of uptime (reboot for updates two days ago). I'm not sure wheter I solved the problem or just eliminate it just enough to stop the "low memory" messages. What I did was updating bios to the newest possible (2014 is latest), also some bios tweaks by setting the iGPU memory by hand, although I think It didn't change anything. What I think was the one, switching from Chrome to Vivaldi. Memory is now much more stable, and It's returned when browser is closed. I don't blame the Chrome solely, probably interplay of "unsupported" cpu under win10, hibernating, and that stupid chrome :)


poolmon is now ok, the most eating tag is 160MB and then some in lower tens of MB with Vivaldi running about 80 tabs.


EDIT for duplicity My problem is probably unique by not finding some specific driver causing the leak, instead it looks like Chrome has problem with something. This is still not solved, just symptoms was eliminated for now.

Use Google instead of Bing with Windows 10 search

I want to use Google Chrome and Google search instead of Bing when I search in Windows 10. Google Chrome is launched when I click on web, but it's Bing search. (My default search engine on Google and Edge is http://www.google.com ) I haven't found how to configure that. Someone can help me ? Answer There is no way to change the default in Cortana itself but you can redirect it in Chrome. You said that it opens the results in the Chrome browser but it used Bing search right? There's a Chrome extension now that will redirect Bing to Google, DuckDuckGo, or Yahoo , whichever you prefer. More information on that in the second link.

linux - Using an index to make grep faster?

I find myself grepping the same codebase over and over. While it works great, each command takes about 10 seconds, so I am thinking about ways to make it faster. So can grep use some sort of index? I understand an index probably won't help for complicated regexps, but I use mostly very simple patters. Does an indexer exist for this case? EDIT: I know about ctags and the like, but I would like to do full-text search. Answer what about cscope , does this match your shoes? Allows searching code for: all references to a symbol global definitions functions called by a function functions calling a function text string regular expression pattern a file files including a file

How do I transmit a single hexadecimal value serial data in PuTTY using an Alt code?

I am trying to sent a specific hexadecimal value across a serial COM port using PuTTY. Specifically, I want to send the hex codes 9C, B6, FC, and 8B. I have looked up the Alt codes for these and they are 156, 182, 252, and 139 respectively. However, whenever I input the Alt codes, a preceding hex value of C2 is sent before 9C, B6, and 8B so the values that are sent are C2 9C, C2 B6, and C2 8B. The value for FC is changed to C3 FC. Why are these values being placed before the hex value and why is FC being changed altogether? To me, it seems like there is a problem internally converting the Alt code to hex. Is there a way to directly input hex values without using Alt codes in PuTTY? Answer What you're seeing is just ordinary text character set conversion. As far as PuTTY is concerned, you are typing (and reading) text , not raw binary data, therefore it has to convert the text to bytes in whatever configured character set before sending it over the wire. In other words, when y

networking - Windows 10, can ping other PC but cannot access shared folders! What gives?

I have a computer running Windows 7 that shares a Git repo on drive D. Let's call this PC " win7 ". This repo is the origin of a project that we push to and pull from. The network is a wireless network. One PC on this network is running on Windows 10. Let's call this PC " win10 ". Win10 can ping every other PC on the network including win7 . Win7 can ping win10 . Win7 can access all shared files on win10 . Neither of the PCs have passwords. Problem : Win10 cannot access any shared files on win7 , not from Explorer, nor from Git Bash or any other Git management system (E-Git on Eclipse or Visual Studio). So, win10 cannot pull/push. Every other PC on the network can access win7 shared files and push/pull to/from the shared Git origin. What's wrong with Windows 10? I have tried these: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings\ File sharing is on, Discovery is on, Password protected sharing is off Adapte
