I have been having a problem with my memory since like 3 days or so. Its at 100% most of the time and because of that, I have been facing performance issues. When I go to the Task Manager and click on Memory... I see 5.7 GB Non-Paged Pool. I read somewhere that this is quite the problem. Anyone got any ideas on how to fix all of this rubbish?

P.S: System and compressed memory seems to be the issue. Also, Disk Usage is always at 100% too. What the heck?

If the issue cropped up after a mandatory windows update then perform a system restore prior to when the issue began or a repair install. Please back up all your critical content and then perform the aforementioned tasks. Repair install's take care of any OS corruptions but if the issue is persistent please reinstall OS. Is the installation availed via the free upgrade path or a clean install? If a clean install rule out the corruption in your bootable USB installer by recreating it.

What you have is also dubbed a memory leak and is prevalent with Windows 10 files being corrupted either from the update procedure or the installer itself.

Have you also made sure your BIOS is up to date? Can you...
