Ok, so I have a fairly new Windows10 build with lots of Ram and relatively few programs installed. However I seem to be getting a huge memory leak whenever windows explorer is running. Task manager will show the Ram usage quite easily go from a couple of hundred megabytes to 48GB within a couple of minutes, without any other programs running. CPU, and Network usage remain normal throughout. Restarting explorer.exe from task Manager will temporarily fix the memory leak but as soon as windows explorer is started, the ram starts to escalate again until I start getting 'windows is low on memory' or 'windows needs to close some applications to restore memory' warning messages. I sometimes even get these messages whilst the ram usage is still relatively low compared to the amount available.
I have tried changing the regisrty value suggested here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=184&v=7_yv-sZxub4 in other simmilar threads and although it seemed to work at first, it soon started leaking again.
I also tried a full virus scan, and all of my drivers are up to date.
Can anyone help me fix the cause of this, as I can't work without windows explorer?
