RAM Memory Leak Issue
Good morning. I am experiencing issues with an updated installation of Windows Server 2016. The task manager reports 8.1GB of memory used (which normally tends to grow indefinitely), and I can't figure out what is using this memory. The growth is about 1GB per day. However, no processes appear that justify the 8GB of RAM used. Even using RAMMAP, I can't find anything significant... On the server, additionally, we have SentinelOne as antivirus and Apache-Tomcat. Thank you for your help.
Windows Server 2025 Public Preview - Windows Update issue
Hi there, Is Windows Update expected to work with the Windows Server 2025 Public Preview from Microsoft's Evaluation Center? I deployed the 26100.1.240331-1435.ge_release_SERVER_EVAL_x64FRE_en-us.iso image but can't update through Windows Update. Similarly, the Windows Security app and Microsoft Edge browser won't update. I'm inquiring because post-installation, the Microsoft Evaluation Center advises updating Windows via Windows Updates. Thanks, AJb26085 - two kind of Arc Setup Wizard troubles
Hi everyone, two different things in one bucket: 1. user reports indidate issues the Arc Deployment using the new wizard might fail https://learn.microsoft.com/en-my/answers/questions/1660985/azure-arc-configuration-the-given-key-was-not-pres Error: The given key was not present in the dictonary 2. Download of Arc Connected Machine Agent fails I have tried to reproduce this today but even failed before the reported step Error: Could not download AzureConnectedMachineAgent.msi Has the link or redirector been changed? according to process monitor it is trying to reach an address that looks like an attestation address, but no public IP.

Hi there, I am trying to deploy mslab using Windows Server 2025 preview VM using Windows Server 2025 OS as a Hyper-V platform. I believe Jaromir as maintainer of mslab opened an SR. In result he updated the code, plus PS DSC Modules. edit: this issue is unrelated to the running SR. Still the deployment of the domain controller template will fail during first boot. This is not specific to b26085, this one is troubling for since WS2025 insider, so it never worked with this branch.

Initial configuration in progress. Sleeping 250 seconds Question: What could be reasons it keeps failing? We have no clue / pointers and imho it would be expected and necessary that mslab works with WS2025, despite being preview, too. Who at Microsoft could afford time to repro and looking into that? As mslab is also used by Microsoft, I hope anyone could spare time to investigate (with Jaromir and/or me). I personally can spare time for that investigation. Thank you very much in advance!
