    I gave updating from IE9 to IE11 a try too. With IE9 my svchost.exe is usually around 45 MB after 3 weeks, which isn't too bad. I'm not sure if it's a fluke yet but after 7 days of uptime with IE11 my svchost.exe is at 29 MB. That's a pretty huge improvement considering how high it would get really fast before. I still have 2 new IE11 updates to get, which I'm worried they will make it worse or restarting my computer alone will just make it go back to the way it was.

    Edit:

    Nevermind. It seems talking about it reminded it that it's broken. A few hours after I posted this it just started increasing really fast. It was very odd that it increased slowly for 7 days though.

    Installed hotfix and upgraded to IE11.  So far NSI is only at 3,846 K and holding steady for 24 hours.

    I've installed the hotfix. I'll report back as soon as I know if it has helped or not.

    Edit:

    After 2 days my svchost.exe is at 16,184 K. It seems like it might be increasing a bit slower. I will have to see how it does after a week or so.

    I am helping someone with this nsi service memory leak as well, and I just noticed a new hotfix published 7 days ago (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2950358).  Has anyone tried this?
