nsi memory leaks fixed yet?

Annoyingly, I'm back.  After a couple of weeks with no sign of the memory leak, svchost (nsi) is back to maxing out at 1.2GB.

I'm going to try Jasthrus' steps and will report back...

I'm running windows 7 enterprise 64bit, and for me reverting to IE 8, and then upgrading to 9 via windows update has totally fixed the problem. My machine has been up for days and I'm at like 20k total for the NSI process.

Good for you.

De-installing Internet Explorer 10 and above from Window 7 systems is definitely a key fix for the NSI Memory Leak problem.

I've been dragging my feet on trying anything new. It's been around 292,000K for the last few days with a slow increase again so I've just been ignoring it. I still need to uninstall IE11 and any updates I can find for IE.

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. I don't do cloud backups. I have ESET Smart Security for firewall and antivirus. I really don't know what else could be affecting it. I didn't have this issue on a previous install of Windows 7. Though that install was having BSOD's and wouldn't install SP1 and never had above IE9 (couldn't figure that one out either, hence the new install). I seem to have bad luck with Windows 7.

Everything would be great if we could figure this out. I really don't want to have to do a new install of Windows 7 and transfer everything again.

I have uninstalled IE 11, searched for any IE related hotfixes, security updates, patches, and previous versions. Found that the update that introduced IE 11, left IE 10 on, but when I went to remove IE 10, it was no longer there, and none of it's related updates were either. During this time (after the update that removed IE 10, before I removed IE 11) I had NO NSI leak for over 3 days of up time, with NO sleep mode. To attempt to nullify this issue from coming back with IE 11, I opted to only leave Chrome and FireFox installed. So far, 0 problems with NSI leaking, system performance stable, and way more responsive after 56 hours up time. Will continue to monitor, and return any future results.

THANKS BILL! KUDOS!

I have a similar problem with nsi memory leak. I deinstalled Internet Explorer 10 from my Dell Window 7 desktop PC and the problem disappears.

This is definitely a bug introduced by the Microsoft software team in 2013. Shame on them!
