"Windows" process using too much Memory (Dual boot setup)
(thelemmy.club)
When I start my pc, (Nobara 43) Memory is up to 70% usage. I dual boot, but use Windows like 5% of the time. I have a Swap partition (64gb), but it shows 0b usage. Is it safe to kill the windows process? Can anyone shed some light into whats going on? I was starting to think this is sketchy lol
UPDATE: It most likely was a Winboat process that started up every time :p
Maybe reinstall OS and update bios?
I think I solved it? I ran
(PID being 4212 in my case)
Memory usage is back to normal afer a reboot, seems fine!
That command only killed the process, in other words, it "closed the program". Rebooting the computer would have had the same exact effect. The application is still in your computer, unless it decided to self-destruct.
