After I upgraded to windows 10 I noticed that my ram slowly creeps up to 100% after around 35-50 minutes of run time. Does anyone have any solution to what that problem could be?
 
Use some antivirus to check for a virus.
Also use a malware remover such as Malware bytes to scan for any malware that may of infected your system.

Press Ctrl Alt and Delete all at the same time and click on task manager to look at the list of programs and processes running on windows 10 if you will see the amount of memory each program running or a task is using.

If see a task or a program you do not recognise that is running and using up your ram.

Click on start, then in the search box type: Msconfig.

A windows will open, click on the startup tab of that window.
Now look to see if the program is listed to run at the start up of windows 10.
If it is, simply un tick the program in question then click apply.
Once you have done all of this restart your system, and again press Ctrl,Alt, and delete at the same time again to check to see if the task or program has stopped running and is not taking using lots of your system ram.

Windows 10 has a memory leak in the system processes. A thread started yesterday ( http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2768263/ram-slowly.html ) was about the same issue.

This MS forum thread asks about it, and some users posted some registry edits that may fix the issue.

Not being funny But I am so glad I stuck with my bought version of windows 7 64bit Ultimate.

It`s just another long list in the woe`s and foe`s of breaking your neck to install windows 10 that is supposed to be better and faster, Maybe when they iron all the bugs out of it after so many people have installed it to report all the god damned problems with it.

History proves it`s self again like with all the other OS`s Microsoft have released don`t dive straight in when they release a new os Hold back a few months never mind about the carrot on a bit of string and a stick to install it within a month or it will cost you to buy a copy of windows 10.

It`s not worth free is it if it does not work right, and is less reliable, or stable than the prior os you were using is it. you have to admit. Less so if it is not compatible with day to day programs, or software you use.

Far as i`m concerned seen to many people hit so many problems after installing windows 10 and now it has a memory leakage problem with it`s core files.

There is that old saying, if the prior os worked ok, and is was reliable and stable.
Why on earth would you install something that clearly does not work any better.

Such as the majority of cases of people installing windows 10, end up facing.

It`s early days, and the wise thing is to hold back on installing it before you regret swapping it for an Os you were running that was more stable in the first place.

Forget all the hype and push, push push to install windows 10.

I bet you most admins of large corporate networks won`t even go near it, or even try to run a network using it. They will deem it as too unstable and not reliable. And know the golden rule wait a bit for the bugs to be ironed out that were not picked up in house testing by MS of the OS, and combinations of PC systems and hardware being so vast.

They don`t have the ability or resources to test every hardware config in such a vast range of pc configurations.
That`s where Joe public steps in, comes in handy in the early days of a new os released.

The Guinea pigs, early adopters of a new os.

To find the bugs for them.
So now you know why it was offered as a free upgrade to windows 7,8, and 8.1 thinking about it.?
There was going to a catch somewhere if your honest with yourself after all it is a new OS.
Stick with what you know works, and has proved it`s self to work. It`s a very simple rule.
