Hello! This is kind of a stretch to ask here but I was wondering if others have noticed in task manager roughly within the first 10 minutes of starting up your PC (Or when booting up games and playing them for a bit) That your nonpaged pool has been increasing by roughly 200-300 mb more than normal in a bit of a "spike"? This is on Windows 11 with the latest build but I was wondering if this might be something with bitdefender itself that might be having some hiccups with windows 11 as of late.

The spike usually only lasts for a bit but it's been CONSISTENT on startup after a few minutes and also has been consistent when playing games as of late. If anyone else has been dealing with this as of late please let me know! As of right now I have no clue if this is a bitdefender issue but I'm hoping to figure this out best I can!

Hello! So for starters I am on Windows 11 KB5089549 with 32gb of ram (But this has been an ongoing thing since the prior update, roughly a week from what I've noticed but I'm hoping to get more insight.) My PC is roughly a year old and on startup mainly just runs Bitdefender and Discord to start up.

My question regarding the things that have been going on is getting a general idea why on startup (And when starting up Battle Net specifically) my Paged and Nonpaged Pools have a noticeable jump at times. For reference my computer starts up with roughly 350-400MB of Paged which I believe is quite normal. But the nonpaged stays at around 570-600 at startup.

My main issue however is when I start up my computer I DO notice that my Nonpaged jumps up to roughly 800-900MB for a few minutes and then drops back down after another few minutes that I haven't been able to decipher why or how come it does that. And when starting up the Battle Net client I also get a jump in both Paged and Nonpaged to roughly that amount for a while. (The Paged stays relatively high but the nonpaged once again drops down after a bit)

I do understand that unused ram is wasted ram but I also wasn't quite sure if those numbers looked like something was off with this relatively new PC as I feel the nonpaged pool is a bit high compared to most things I've read about it.

For another reference I updated my graphics drivers to see if that was potentially what was causing it and that did not seem to clear it up. So any tips on how I could get to the bottom of it or just an idea if this is normal behavior would be fantastic! Sorry if this is a nothingburger situation I just am hoping to learn and be sure nothing is wrong with it!

Hello! So this is kind of a new issue that's been cropping up but something I've noticed. After a few hours of having my computer on I've noticed my paged and nonpaged (More so the latter) pools have been having a noticeable spike with little to not activity done (Discord in the background, Bitdefender as my AV, and watching youtube on chrome with Ublock lite on). I really want to figure out what the cause of this spike after roughly an hour of watching JUST Youtube is as I've noticed when playing games and such as well that my memory spikes after a bit as well.

I really don't want to have to install other programs to look for this info (But I will if absolutely needed) but I was really hoping to get to the bottom of how to decipher a memory leak on this part when I don't have the first clue of where to really start doing so. I'm keeping an eye on task manager now but I don't really know what I'm looking for to track this info down personally so I was looking for any advice that could potentially help in this matter.
