Windows explorer high memory

Windows 11 is officially available for users all across the globe. Users who have been waiting for a long time are rushing to upgrade their PC from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Since it’s the first public build of Windows 11, it’s obvious to expect bugs. Early adopters who have upgraded to the newest operating system already reporting about various bugs, that includes:Windows 11 retains Windows 10 taskbar & breaks Start Menu after UpgradeWindows 11 Installation Assistant Error 0x8007007fNow there is another bug associated with File Explorer in Windows 11. Some users reporting high memory leaks due to File Explorer in Windows 11. Fortunately, Microsoft is already aware of this bug and it will be fixed in upcoming updates. According to a response by a Microsoft engineer on the Feedback hub thread, lots of users are reporting about uncontrollable RAM leaks and they have migrated various issues causing memory leaks while using File Explorer in Windows 11 build 22454.This confirms that Microsoft has a solution to the File Explorer memory loss bug, but you need to wait for few weeks to receive an update with a fix. It’s because the mentioned Windows 11 build is available in the Dev channel as of now.In the meantime, there’s a temporary solution that you can apply to fix the issue. According to some users, opening the folders as a separate process fixes the high memory leak issues. Here’s how you can do that:Click on the Search icon available on the Taskbar and then type File Explorer options, when it appears in results, click to open it.Next, switch to the View tab.Here, you need to head over to the Advanced settings section and look for the option i.e. “Launch folder windows in a separate process”. Once you find it, check the box for this option, then click OK to apply the changes.After that, restart File Explorer and check if this fixes the issue for you.The solution discussed above also helps in restoring Windows 10 File Explorer in Windows 11.In case, you know of any other solution, then feel free to let us know in the comment.

I'm using Windows 10 Pro version 1703 build 15063.296 in Bootcamp on a Macbook Pro '15. This setup has been running fine for two years until the last big Windows 10 update. Now I'm constantly getting out of memory errors. The laptop has 16GB of RAM which is never close to full. The committed memory though is maxing out. When I check to see what program is using a high amount of committed memory in Resource Monitor, everything is pretty low, usually less than 500MB. Windows will say Firefox or Chrome is using too much memory, but I can't find any evidence of this with Task Manager, Resource Monitor or Process Explorer. How can I find what is actually using up all the committed memory and crashing my computer? Here are some screenshots of the process list while the commit charge is extremely high. I had to close Chrome and Slack just to free up enough memory to take a screenshot. Resource Monitor Process ListCommitted Memory

It's very annoying to not have this. Any ideas? Does it have to do anything with the subject of this topic: StartAllBack?When yes, please disable StartAllback modifying File Explorer and look if the problem still exists.When no, please start a new topic with your question and describe exactly what version of Windows you are using (Pro, Home, exact version: run the command 'winver' and post the result).If you are using any other app to modify the File explorer, taskbar etc, please specify that as well.
