nsi memory leaks fixed yet?

I am trying the IE 10 removal and manual install of IE 11.  I'm not sure how to tell if all the previous updates are uninstalled without cross-referencing all the KB numbers.  I will report back to this thread with results.

Also to note, before uninstalling IE 10, I often went 5 - 7 days without NSI memory consumption spinning out of control.  Sometimes it happens within 24 hours.  Sometime longer.  It is very difficult to nail down what the cause is.

My computer has been on for 30 minutes and it has already gone from 8,500K to 11,100K. I don't think it worked for me. Should I have uninstalled the platform update and KB2786081 and let IE11 install them again? I can't think of any other updates I might have installed for IE.

Edit:

I decided to get the rest of the updates for the week that I hadn't installed yet since I doubted it was going to make the issue worse. So far after an hour it is staying at 8,800K. I'll see how it goes over the next few days.

Edit 2:

After 26 hours uptime my svchost.exe is at 14,260K.

Edit 3:

17.756K after 48 hours.

I've installed IE11 and testing it now. After 7 days of uptime after IE10 uninstall my svchost.exe was at 22,968K. I'm wondering if there was something else that needed to be uninstalled but I guess I'll see how this goes.

Okay... So I figured out that WHEN I had 9 days stable, IE 10 was in fact still installed. Once I removed it from Add/Remove Windows Features in the control panel, is when the leak came back. Not sure why I did not make the connection earlier. Since then, my NSI issue remained, UNTIL I installed the standalone IE 11 installer, not the Windows Update one, as once IE 10 is removed, update no longer prompts to update to IE 11. Now, with IE 11 installed, and the most recent update for IE 11 (and all other Windows updates completed), my NSI usage is at the lowest in months.

Current usage: 3464 K, only 96 handles.

Before it was 9340 K, 178 handles on a normal basis, and ballooned upwards of 17,000 handles, and over 200,000 K of memory when the leak took hold.

Keep in mind, this is minimal up time so far, but first impressions after reboot, WAY lower initial NSI usage with IE 10 removed from the add/remove Windows features, and stand alone IE 11 installed and updated.

IF you are having this issue try:

1. Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features > Add Remove Windows Features
2. Remove the CHECK from IE 10, allow it to uninstall
3. Remove any updates for IE (any version) from your Windows Update history
4. REBOOT
5. Download IE 11 from http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/internet-explorer/ie-11-worldwide-languages
6. Follow the install instructions, reboot as needed.
7. Find NSI process and monitor usage, POST BACK with results.

I will do the same, after longer up time.

Hi all,

I can confirm that since uninstalling all version of IE, then installing IE11, I have not had the memory leaking problem since.  It's been about 2 weeks and the svchost (nsi) process has not creeped over 70MB.

I'd consider this resolved for me.

Thanks to all for the suggestions.
