Desktop Windows Manager (DWM) memory leakage in Windows 10 (Version 2004).

The infamous dwm.exe hogging lots of memory. FYI this is not a specific program issue. It just happens with any programs, activities randomly.

I'm getting really tired of killing dwm.exe every so often so that it will release the occupied memory. When is this going to be fixed? Is this ever going to be fixed even?

    Could you please stop posting your wrong conclusions? That is just subjective. Also please correct your false claims in the Intel forum, that the old driver from 2019 "worked", as you already corrected here. Your conclusions are all irrelevant, because all that was long and countless times debated in the Intel forum.

    it might be even worse - faster mem bloating than with the HP driver

    Hello again :)

    I looking all intel posts in chain there. But Right after your reply i close my lid - and open - my standby mode working. I mean - Not me decide to install outdated drivers, Microsoft send it through Settings/Windows Update )

    Maybe Microsoft decide it as a temporary solution

    Modern standby wont work with those drivers, is all I have to say. That is why DWM doesnt leak. All explained in the Intel forum.
