Finding the program causing the memory leak

Drake Jest · March 23, 2020

Hello new member here asking for help ! :)

I have a 16gb Memory setup. currently my ram, with only 1 chrome tab open is sitting at 14gb. Processes show chrome being the top memory eating sitting at 500MB and next to it is the Anti Malware Executable sitting at 20MB. There is no way that all my processes total to 14GB of memory.

Actually i have been observing this lately, when ever i dont restart/turn off my computer for weeks the ram usage would slowly creep up. I know for sure that this is some program/drivers leaking memory. A;though a restart solves this problem. But i think its time that i address this problem.

How do i find this program? also if you recommend a software it must be usable without restarting the computer because this would cause everything to reset and my ram would go back to its normal 4 or 5 GB of usage. It would take weeks again for this to go up again.

Thank you for your help

What OS? What tool are you using to check the RAM usage? Can you share a screenshot? Can you sort/filter the highest memory consumers?

I am using Windows 10, and Task Manager. No specials programs.

Here are some snippets, there may be some slight difference to what i originally said, but it should still be very clear that something is wrong here.
