Windows 10 Extremely High Non-Page Pool

caseyjbradley · Aug 14, 2017

Hello,
I've recently noticed my computer constantly using between 97 and 100% memory at all times. Even immediately on startup this is an issue. I'm seeing 14.5GB of the memory allocated to the Non-Page Pool. I've currently tried disabling Superfetch and tried setting the Start value in 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Ndu' to 4. Neither of these approaches resolved my issue. Does anyone have other ideas for me to try? I've attached some screenshots, but please let me know if you need additional details. Thanks!

This is normal, available RAM is wasted RAM. Unless you actually notice significant issues in games or opening applications there is nothing to be alarmed about.

Xibyth :

Normally I'd just delete your post for being utter nonsense, but that wouldn't teach you or anyone else anything at all.

Why don't you do some research and find out what the non-paged pool is, how it works, and what could cause it to explode like that. I'll give you a hint, it's a memory leak in a driver; this is in no way normal and it is something to be alarmed about because it needs to be fixed because memory leaks in the kernel can only be resolved by resetting the computer.

@OP: I'd put $10 on you having a Killer LAN network card. This is a known issue with the standard WHQL drivers and how they interact with that card when WIndows NDU services are enabled. If you do have a Killer LAN network card, the solution is to install the manufacturer's drivers and restart your computer.
