Windows explorer taking almost all RAM
I am using windows 10 and RAM is 4GB. After starting laptop suddenly RAM usage is building up to 100% and system is freezing. When i checked task manager it is showing Windows Explorer is taking almost all RAM. I am not able to do anything on my Laptop that's why I am not able to post the screenshot also. What should i do now can somebody tell?
Hi I have updated my pc with version 1511 (OS Build 10586.494) KB number is KB3172985. My system is working properly. The issue of RAM is resolved by this update.
This worked temporary for me. After a system restart, it was taking lots of RAM like before.
Had to do the steps again
I had the same problem on Windows 10 with 8GB RAM, and restarting Explorer didn't work for me. The following may work:
- Open Task Manager
- On the Details tab, find
explorer.exe - Right-click on it and choose End process tree
- Confirm End process tree
Some windows might close; the task bar also disappears.
- Now in Task Manager's File menu, click on Run new task.
- Type
explorer.exein the bar. Click OK.
