Windows 10 Ram Usage
Brie Hoffler
Know there are many posts about CPU usage, but after going through a few; didn't see one that was my exact scenario. My primary system runs Windows 10 x64 and amongst many installed applications, has the latest public Dropbox client installed.
Below are the specs for my environment. Any suggestions? Are beta builds addressing this even though it seems to have been a long occurring issue? I also host my own ownCloud instance in the cloud and have a client on the same system with similar files and same physical location and it never does this.
I ran into this problem a year ago during my graduate studies. My solution to the issue at the time was more of a work around. I would completely pause dropbox syncing when I was working on my laptop.
Same thing here, it has been happening for months. I have Windows 10 and I do not remember this happening with 8.1. I have seen other threads saying the same thing as this one so it is not an isolated problem.
I've actually moved most of the things I use to my personal ownCloud setup which I host in the cloud and am probably going to cancel my Dropbox subscription. I was hoping as as a paying customer that I'd get some sort of reply after a few days, but guess not.
I'm using Unity3D as a game developer. All my projects are hosted on Github and my repo are synced in my dropbox folder (so I can easily switch between my laptop and desktop and have the modifications synced).
Dropbox consumes FAR FAR too much system resources (CPU, RAM, disk utilization) this has always been a problem but it seems to be getting worse. Fixing this should be Dropbox's #1 priority - unless you just don't care about your customers. I'd like to use my computer for more than just syncing files to Dropbox.
If the location of the Dropbox folder does not have C:\Users\YourUser\Dropbox as its path, modify the first command to point to it. For example, if your Dropbox is in D:\Dropbox, the command would appear as:

This will take you to the 'Details' tab of Task Manager, showing a detailed view of the running 'DWM.exe' process. There may be one or more instances of DWM.exe running, and if so, right click on the process showing the highest memory usage, and select 'End task'.
Your screen will turn black (with the exception of the mouse cursor) as DWM.exe restarts for a moment, but will result in returning to the screen as you left it and clearing the memory without needing to reboot your system.
This advice is CLASSIC Microsoft, devoid of any sense of responsibilty for the BUGGY and BLOATY software that is the elephant in the room - that needs fixing (not some half-baked 'solution' from a random dude on YT).
You should see mine. My DWM uses as much as 5,000 MB of Memory when it's having issues. My computer mostly only has issues after I've had documents opens for a while. But the memory usage won't go back down unless I restart my computer. Closing all applications just brings it down to a low 2,000 MB. Restarting brings it back to 100 MB or less.
The problem I am facing is different memory usage under Windows vs Ubuntu or Debian. On my Windows laptop with 32 GB of RAM, the simulation ends in about 2 hours. Using the same laptop that is running Ubuntu, the code gets killed because of using too much memory. I even tried it on a Debian workstation with more that 300 GB of RAM and all of it gets used until the jobs is killed.
I can assure that the initial conditions are identical. The simulations are seeded to the same value, and they use the same Julia environment, meaning the packages and their versions are the same. Basically, I have a git repo that is cloned everywhere. The directory has its own environment that is activated before running the code, and the simulations have a seed to remove any stochasticity.
I am now running the code on the Debian workstation. So far (11%), memory usage seems to have reached a constant level of 4 GB. With Julia 1.9, memory usage kept increasing all the time. It sounds like this is indeed an issue with Julia 1.9.
High CPU usage on the process Intel Local Management service on start-up. If we stop it...the server is fine. Checked for Threats with Malwarebytes and ESET, but none. AMT is uninstalled. on the properties of the process it refers to windows\Vss\writers\ but i cant find any files in there.
I'm very angry over the hours I spent trying to find the cause. First off, Dell knows nothing - they just rely on installing "the latest Intel BIOS and drivers". Which I did, repeatedly, through 7 Aug 2017. And from web reports it seems that this LMS junkware has been causing the same problem for about ten years.
How is it possible for a company the size of Intel to still be sending this out? After a discovery period while I was realizing that a problem even existed, I found HWInfo showing both CPU cores at 90 degC !!! How many users are simply living with this absurd condition in their new high-end "Intel Inside" laptop? 90 deg C!! Ten years! Again - just incredible. You guys are the experts! You made all these chips!
In fact in my case the machine was about to go off as a gift. So if I hadn't realized and fixed the problem - late on the last possible night - the user would certainly have assumed it was normal, and I wouldn't have seen it again. Very, very angry.
As for the fix: I got into the Services list (with Admin privilege) and located "Intel Management and Security Application - Local Management Service". Opening its properties I stopped it and set its startup type to "Disabled". I should have, but did not, also delete LMS.exe.
I'll see if the problem reoccurs, as it has for some other folks. That means have the machine brought back and check it out myself, with apologies to the new owner. Terrible piece of work, Intel driver team.
Thank you for the feedback. We're looking into this and will work on duplicating this issue. We need to confirm what operating system you're running. Are you also running Windows Server 2012 R2 on your Dell XPS 13? If not, what OS is running on it.
5 years on and on my Dell XPS 13 still the same issue, every boot up after some time the fan starts spinning up, go into processes and there's lms.exe helping itself to the processor and doesn't stop until I kill the process. Latest drivers from Dell.
I wonder how many others of our 250 laptops in our organisation are experiencing the same issue, perhaps I should just block lms from running or uninstall Intel Management Engine from them all... Perhaps I'll just script the service to be disabled each day across the fleet.

I installed prodigy in Windows and can anybody help me in steps to opening local host interface to do NER tagging. Please help me on the steps mentioned in this link and how to implement using windows commands
Please see this page for information about Timing Captures in the most recent versions of PIX. The documentation below describes an old version of Timing Captures that is not available in the latest versions of PIX.
Timing captures can track GPU memory usage, and PIX can show how heaps and resources are created and managed with respect to the underlying GPU memory. This can be used to understand and optimize heap residency and troubleshoot performance issues caused by paging between local and non-local GPU memory.
To capture GPU memory details, expand the Options pane for Timing Capture, make sure the Capture GPU memory usage option is enabled (it is on by default), and take a capture as described above. GPU memory information can be captured for both Immediate and Continuous timing captures.
The Events view should already be familiar, but it includes a new drop-down called Event Category. If you select the new Memory option, PIX lists all the memory events. This shows when heaps are created, made resident and so forth.
The Resources & Heaps view lets you inspect all the tracked resources and heaps in the capture. Named heaps and resources can easily be located using the Filter option. The Residency column provides a quick overview of the residency status of each heap during the capture making it easy to spot heaps that changed residency or were never resident during the capture. Similarly, the Resources column shows the number of resources per heap making it easy to discover heaps with no resources in them. By default, PIX also shows the history for the selected heap or resource which is useful for understanding how the heap or resource is used through the duration of the capture.
Please note that in this release PIX only tracks D3D12 resource heaps. Additional tracking for data such as command allocators, pipeline state objects, and descriptor heaps will be added in future releases of PIX.
It is not uncommon to only see a limited number of heaps on the Created timeline. This just means that the other captured heaps were created prior to starting the capture. These heaps still show up in the Resources & Heaps view, and PIX can show their attributes and usage, but is not able to identify when they were created.
Note that, depending on the limit you set, resource controls can affect your browser performance. When you set a limit for the memory Edge can use, your browser functions normally until that limit is hit. When Edge hits the limit, the browser will try to reduce its memory usage and you may notice increased page reloads with more tabs being slept and discarded. Setting a low limit may slow down your browser performance.
