High Memory usage by ntoskrnl.exe System after upgrading to windows 10 home

http://blog.cati.com/2015/05/whats-holding-my-ram-hostage.html

Confirmed way to purge standby memory leak, without having to run through DOS mode.

Download rammap.exe and run, it's pretty easy.

I had the same problem as yours, System and service host were using loads of memory and my 8 gigs were running out quickly all of a sudden, except this happened 5 months after upgrading to Windows 10. I tried every tip listed here and in other forums, the only thing that seems to have worked is clearing the SoftwareDistribution folder, this is a link with details as how to do it (solution 4): http://www.wintips.org/how-to-fix-svchost-exe-netsvcs-memory-leak-or-high-cpu-usage-problems/

It truned out to be a windows update issue.

-create a text file with notepad and this :

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\TimeBroker]
"Start"=dword:00000003

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SysMain]
"DisplayName"="Superfetch"
"Start"=dword:00000003

   save it as *.* - fixer.reg (it should be registry file)

   double click the file for apply

   reboot

it works for me 

thanks -JEX for suggestion

there is no just simple superfetch or timebroker or anything else

some thing wrong happening in NtOsKrnl.exe

look at PoolMon Log :

Findstr /s CM31 *.* leads to ntoskrnl.exe

windows 10 x64 Pro and ENTR build 10586.x both have this issue

just in this thread , about 500 ppl had this issue

why no MoDerator answers or No efficient HotFix???

i used xperf for diag and send them to microsoft. they only said "contact with local it".

i know CM31 about registry but i cant do anything. no fix, no support... 

there was no such a problem before TH1.

Hi,

I had the same problem. my computer was extremely slow, could barely click anything.

I uninstalled the latest windows update which was : (KB3124263)

After reboot it worked without any problem.

The only thing curious to me is that my RAM exploded to 99% literally 14 days after the update was installed.

It worked fine after the update was installed at first.

That makes me very suspicious.

Can the windows support answer to this maybe?

Regards,

Carl
