termsvcs memory hog
The process termsvcs on my server running Server 2016 continues to be a memory hog. We were consistently in the high 90% on memory usage, so I got rid of alot of unnecessary programs and services tha...
May need to look at what users are running, and total RAM. This PowerShell might help.

Even after I removed a couple users, I thought that would help, but then termsvcs just takes whatever extra memory was left by the removed users, so my server is still at 96-99%. Anyway to limit termsvcs from taking all the extra memory?
Some sizing recommendations here.

This does not sound right.
I just checked some of our RD Session Hosts and for 16 logged on users the RAM usage sits at 8GB to 9GB with trmsvcs using roughly 350MB - 400MB.
All Session Hosts are configured with Windows Server 2016 and 16GB RAM each. All users using Office, Browser and some LOB-Apps.
I would check for problematic software, drivers or configuration. If you are using a 3rd party antivirus, try removing it and test if the problem goes away.
