    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.

    I also think some IE updates are left behind after the uninstall. But they are hard to find since they only say "Update" and not "Update for Internet Explorer" after installed. Going through my update checklist I made I can only see an IE8 compatibility update and an IE10 update. But it appears I have to try this over again since my svchost.exe is at 54.024K after 3 days with IE11 installed.

    Edit:

    After 4 days uptime it's at 303,612K. I have no idea what happened to it in the last 24 hours. It just started jumping up really fast. I haven't done anything different. I really wish we could figure this problem out.

    Edit 2:

    Disabling and re-enabling the network adapter still works at least. It dropped instantly to 51,004K.

    After one day and 9 hours NSI started its spinning out of control memory consumption.  Back to the drawing board...

    Anyone have more ideas? Apparently the disabling and re-enabling the network adapter gets less effective after the first time. Went from 60,000K to 240,536K in less than 12 hours. I'm considering doing a full re-install of Windows 7 even. Though doing a repair certainly didn't help any.

    Same problem here too and it's driving me crazy.  FWIW, I'm using a cloud backup service (Crashplan) that requires an always-on applet and runs as a windows service.  Is this a common variable with anyone else or a red herring?
