How To Fix Memory Leaks In Windows 10 [Tutorial]
32Fix memory leak (or memoryleak) in Windows 10
In this brief tutorial, I show two methods on how to fix a memory leak, resulting in high memory or RAM usage, in Windows 10.
Software can dramatically slow down your computer when that software leaks memory. Memory leaks happen when a program you run fails to release memory it has used.
Normally, when you quit a program, it says to Windows, “I’m done with this memory.” Windows then lets other software use that memory. You can identify a memory leak by monitoring the computer’s resources. When you see resources dwindling over time, it’s the sign that a program is leaking memory.
To monitor resources, you can use the Task Manager window. The graphs should generally remain steady especially the one labeled Physical Memory Usage History. When this line ramps up slowly over time and you haven’t opened any new programs or done anything on the computer, you have a memory leak.
