Hi, I have been having problems with memory leakage. And the reason why i believe it is caused buy Chrome is because I often notice the leakage after long sessions or in situations where I have left my PC running with Chrome open in the background. I am running a total of 16GB of memory. However when I open the task manager and sees 95%-99% memory usage, the user section of the task manager says I am only using 500MB-3000MB. I have no idea how to fix this, so any help would be appreciated!

- Once done do run Windows Update and install all updates available.
- Next is to install all latest drivers and BIOS update available from the manufacturer site.
- If all these will not work I would suggest doing a clean install of Windows 10.
