Problem description: Recently I'm having a bit of trouble with my memory running full. When I reboot up the system, everything is fine, but over time the memory load just keeps creeping up, no matter if I actually use the machine or not. Checking the taskmanager and resource monitor doesn't tell me much, as none of the running processes seems to be actually using the memory. It's just full for no reason. I noticed that in the taskmanager the non paged pool just grows bigger over time and never shrinks again until I reboot. Once it hits 2.0GB, the system becomes sluggish and sometimes completely unresponsive, even if the memory is not completely full yet. Attempted fixes: Googling the issue brings up a lot of forum posts and Youtube videos all describing the same fix: Tweak the registry settings for the Windows Network Data Usage Monitor. This however seems to be a fix specifically for a problem with Killer NICs, which I don't have in my system. I tried it nonetheless, but it did not help. I also updated the drivers for my graphics card, audio, ethernet, wifi and bluetooth, since from what I found so far this is typically a driver problem. And while I was at it, I updated the BIOS as well. But still no dice. Recent changes: I installed ASUS Aura Sync a few days ago. I already suspected it to be the culprit, so I removed it again. That did not fix the issue, so that was likely not it. I also have not disabled Windows 10 updates, so it does install updates every now and then. The only ones recent enough to have anything to do with this are KB4462930, KB4462919 and maybe KB4100347. -- Operating system: Windows 10 Pro 1803 64 Bit System specs: ASUS ROG STRIX B350-I GAMING AMD Ryzen 7 1700 2x 8GB G.Skill Trident Z DDR4 3200MHz AMD Vega 64 Location: Germany I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes Update: Turns out it was Aura after all. Apparently it didn't uninstall properly. I installed it again, then uninstalled it using IObit Uninstaller, and the problem was gone. Whether it was the IObit tool that made it work or if its uninstallation routine just happened to work properly this time around I do not know.
