afgzee Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Anyone noticed memory increase on Windows 7 after Jan 2020? My computer would go as low as about 1.70GB before January 2020 now it can go up to as much as 4GB+ before i've even started any programs. I haven't changed anything on my system either, except installed the Feb 2020 and March 2020 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankl1n Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Did you apply the March 2020 updates? EDIT: oh yes I see you did! Idid too, and then my memory usage was high. I did some research and found this: Quote Mar 2020 KB 4541500 – Download 32-bit or 64-bit (Requires ESU subscription, Contain DiagTrack service component (AKA Unified Telemetry Client)) Then with a little more looking I (re)found this: https://www.askwoody.com/forums/topic/2000012-neutralize-telemetry-sustain-win-7-8-1-monthly-rollup-model/ I (re)followed the steps outlined by @abbodi86 and now my memory usage is fine again. just a thought...good luck!

I have noticed recently slow responsiveness with Firefox 74 when I click on sites on my bookmark menu. Having read afgee's post I checked my RAM use with Firefox closed and no other programs running and it shows 63% being used (from 8 GB installed RAM) which means about 4.8GB RAM in use. Doesn't seem right. I have the usual background programs running, ESET, Malwarebytes, Process Lasso. When I close Firefox it stays at 62% RAM in use. Any ideas anyone?

Thanks so much. In the second link i took the advice SCHTASKS /Create /F /RU "SYSTEM" /RL HIGHEST /SC ONSTART /TN W10Telemetry /TR "cmd /c %windir%\W10Tel.cmd" now my RAM is at usual levels as it was before. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
