It's possible to have a memory leak even when system only uses ~15%

It's called standby memory and is related to one of the millions of Windows 10 bugs.

It's called cached memory and you can see it in task manager.

It's actually called standby memory [in Windows Task Manager]

A known bug in Windows 10 that causes stuttering in many games. Ironically I think a lot of issues people have while gaming could be fixed if they knew about this.

(there are also several ways to fix it, that little program from a well known developer is by far the most convenient solution though imho)

That is windows resouce monitor.

In task manger it is called cached memory, and it shows the same.

People use task manager, not resource monitor.

Did you read the link, or the actual ISLC forum / site? Those can explain it much better than I could (unless you were already aware of this Windows 10 issue) Because semantics aside, this is an actual fix to an actually rather *very* frustrating issue.

What "standby" memory does is keep growing but when you have this bug it will only free up space when it's absolutely needed - and that will cause inevitably stuttering in games *unnecessarily*, it's not normal and doesn't apply to all windows installs, but if you have this bug a way to dynamically clear the standby list is a godsend and actually the only (known) way to fix or rather mitigate the issue.

Yeah, sure I get there through task manager though, seems like it's just a part of it - and the windows typical confusing naming scheme doesn't help, admittedly.
