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

Anonymous

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?

I also experienced dwm using a lot of memory until my laptop crashed I didn't check the task manager but when I opened the task manager the dwm used almost all the ram. I am using Intel UHD 620 27.20.100.8729. It's been like this every day.

I have installed yesterday newest version of driver from the HP support website for my hp elitebook 840 g5 .. I had it hibernated overnight ..

for now, results looks good, but lets see in next days

Edit: After few hibernations, dwm is behaving, no leaking it seems.
