    Problem with compressed memory process


    Hi

    I hope I have posted this in the right place

    I have a problem with the system and compressed memory process

    I have googled this to death yet nothing I do seems to help

    As I write this (very slowly) this process is currently using 24% of my CPU ! (system interupts using 10%)

    I have had Windows 10 for 6 months but this problem is new

    After reading various posts in various forums I have done the following

    Turned off Windows Tips
    Turned off run memory diagnostic
    Reinstalled Windows 10
    Checked all my drivers which are all up to date

    I have not taken other advice to turn off prefetch etc

    This is not an intermittant problem as it is happening every 30 minutes or so

    I have read and understand why Windows now uses a new method of memory management but either this new method sucks or I have another issue

    I would appreciate any help as my PC is often unusuable for 5- 10 minutes every 30 minutes

    Regards

    Craig

    Do this happen if you boot to Safe Mode with Networking? To get there, click the Start button, Power, hold down the Shift key and click on Restart.

    If not then try using Clean Boot to see if you can figure out what is causing the problem.

    You don't press F5, just press the number 5 key, that will take you to Safe Mode with Networking.

    ah ok i understand

    I did the clean boot thing and oddly the problem seems to have vanished tho i dont know why I followed the tutorial and when i disabled all the non microsoft services problem went. What I dont understand is as I enabled them back bit by bit problem never returned although throughout it all I kept start up program items all disabled and I have left them that way for now

    I will experiment with enabling them bit by bit to see if I get a conflict again with programs enabled

    Thanks again for your help and I will let you know what happens

    Ok

    I have now enabled all of the start up apps i like to have start with windows and left others i dont use including some i didnt recognise but when googling them they dont seem needed and all is well - almost

    I no longer have high CPU and memory usage but do get occasional 100% disk usage but that isnt causing me a problem so thanks for your help Ztruker and for the correct key for safe mode

    Oh well that didnt last long

    CPU usage back up to 40% even 50% for minutes at a time rendering my PC unusable

    It seems many other people have this issue so maybe it isnt me its Windows ?

    Hi, it's problem with various possible causes. System and compressed memory was introduced in Win 10 to optimise memory use, but can cause problems for some. Here's a collection of issues and maybe solutions. A common one is one experienced with Chrome.

    Feel free to search the forum for "system and compressed memory" using the search box above.. you will find a number of threads. Here are some I've collected (unfortunately the para numbers as per my document aren't reproduced properly here)
