Memory leak in Remote Desktop version 1.2.5559.0 (x64) and a few versions back
Microsoft Remote Desktop has a memory leak. This started a few versions back; I thought maybe it would be fixed in succeeding versions, but it has not. You can watch with Task Manager and see it slow...
Well, the above is not entirely true. Remote Desktop seems to be consuming memory even when the remote connection is viable. I locked the remote session overnight, and the next day Remote Desktop had consumed over 5GB:
But then, when I closed the remote session window, it suddenly jumped to over 6GB before stabilizing at 5.1GB and then dropping again to 4.5GB. All this without a remote connection. Not sure what this app is doing, but it seems to be a sick puppy.
