nsi memory leaks fixed yet?

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!

So for me, since I installed IE 11 from it's standalone installer (not the Win update method), I have experienced around 25,000K to 45,000K in memory usage with NSI process. This does go up and down, but seems to be stable at this range. The handles are staying below 800 at all times. This is not a great result, as under first boot I experience about 3300K and 90 handles. It is better then it running up to 300,000K and 17,000 handles.

As for cloud backups, no I do not use them, I do not even have my Steam cloud enabled for game saves. My system is ONLY shared via a private home network, and I simply have weather apps, and antivirus running that constantly use/monitor internet, with of course nVidia, Logitech, Windows, and the other normals doing their routine update checks. Most everything installed does use auto-update in one sense or another, and I choose to allow this on most, with the exception of Adobe products.

That is what is strange about this issue... We all have VERY different setups, some of us using 3rd party routers with our ISP routers, some of us just using ISP routers, some of us with really elaborate setups, and many online functions happening, some of us minimal setups with hardly any online functions. Also not everyone out there with Windows is experiencing this, and from what I gather it is not just Windows 7 Home Premium (my OS) either. There is no constant variable that I have managed to find that could be the cause. I have scoured the internet for weeks on end trying to solve this, as I am a gamer, RAM counts.

Now I am going to be building a NEW PC, right away, and it will also be on Home Premium Win 7, not a fan of Win 8.1 (Daughter's laptop has that), and I will see if the problem persists on a different platform.

Maybe we need to start collecting system stats and have someone compare them, CPU, motherboard, RAM, OS, ALL the specs of all the affected computers... There HAS to be a link somewhere to this for all of us.
