Should Desktop Window Manager be using 1.2 Gig?

DWM looks like this (goes up to 1.2 Gig of memory used). Seems a bit excessive? I barely have anything open too.

No it should not.

Video driver memleak from something?

Do you have Windows Mixed Reality open? I think that uses Desktop Window Manager, in which case I wouldn’t be too surprised at some GPU/RAM usage…

Yes it is running in the background.

I theorise that if you quit WMR, then Desktop Window Manager will return to normal.

Much more reasonable. Should it still be over 300?

Mine uses around 25MB after a fresh boot.
