So I have 32GB of RAM, and whenever I turn on my PC, System take up almost all my ram alongside other programs.

 

PLEASE HELP!

Congratulations! You have a virus!

 

Or Windows Update is being a dick...

 

Oh, wait... What's the difference between Windows 10 and a virus? Nothing!

Try and do a full scan and use malwarebytes with  a custom scan on all drives and for rootkits

Leaving it yes, updates no.

That has to be a virus or something... Windows can eat a lot of RAM at times but unless this is a bug, this is in no way normal behaviour that I would ever expect from it

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

You have a non-paged pool leak, normally caused by that nic (e2200). Fix is to load up regedit (start run and type regedit), browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Ndu\

 

change the "Start" value to 4 and reboot.

Should fix :)
 

Edit: Its a bug in the driver version, they may have actually fixed it so if you're not comfortable with the reg edit jump over to the killer networking site and grab the latest drivers, if this doesnt fix go on and do the regedit.

Memory leak. Update to Windows 10.1 or reinstall. 

Quite common.

double click it (in the right pane) and a box comes up with the current value, change it to 4 and click ok

It seems to be working now, but I have another issue.

 

None of my web browsers are loading the internet, but all my other programs like skype and steam are working fine

Turns out Malwarebytes was preventing the browsers from working. All is good now!

 

Thanks all, especially mccammidge!

I would highly suggest you to get a fresh install of windows. Or atleast get a low capacity HDD or SDD and install windows to it and just take files from your main storage.
