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?

    In a discussion on the Intel forum, it was stated that Intel engineers were able to reproduce the bug, but are unsure what exactly is causing it.

    If the link was in English, clicking on it will change the language to the user's system language.

    If the link was in another language, clicking on it will leave the language unchanged.

    You can always burn ISO file from download site to the recordable DVD media and boot from it .. But, why? USB flash is much more convenient
