Insane RAM spikes from Service Host: Diagnostic Policy
I have a laptop with an i3-7100U and 8GB of DDR4-2133 (upgraded from the original 4GB) RAM.
For some odd reason, even if I have NOTHING open, Service Host: Diagnostic Policy Service constantly keeps changing its RAM usage, from barely anything to an insane amount. My "Performance" tab in Task Manager looks like this:
Notice how the RAM usage keeps spiking. This will honestly continue for as long as I have the laptop turned on.
The RAM that I installed to replace the original 4GB of RAM is the exact same speed as the factory original.
And yes, if I disable the Diagnostic Policy Service in services.msc, it does stop the spikes. But I shouldn't have to do that every single time I turn on the computer. Also, I've already reinstalled Windows 10 with a fresh install (yes, that's how much it bothered me) but it didn't fix the issue.
Any ideas? I'm starting to think it's an issue with a Lenovo driver I might have installed, but I'm not sure.
