"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
findwill catch more if you wildcard the name with"*windows*", but that's a moot point: we don't have enough info to jump to "malware" conclusions here.Looking for malware by hunting for the name in a procid list won't usually get far, you'd be better to
netstatto see what various processes are listening or phoning home to confirm suspicions of malware.
