You should see mine. My DWM uses as much as 5,000 MB of Memory when it's having issues. My computer mostly only has issues after I've had documents opens for a while. But the memory usage won't go back down unless I restart my computer. Closing all applications just brings it down to a low 2,000 MB. Restarting brings it back to 100 MB or less.
I will say though, when I look at the registry for DWM, I do for some reason have 21 separate "DwnInitSessionActivityId"'s Which I feel like is where the problem lies.
But can I get rid of those? Or are they important?
