Hi,
I have a memory leak in my system, specifically in the non paged pool. In one or two days of usage after a restart, it fills up all of the RAM available.
Some online searches landed me on this blog: Huge Memory Usage in Non-Paged Pool in Windows | Windows OS Hub
This helped me narrow down the problem for me. Using poolmon.exe, I found that "WSSL" was leaking memory. This was further associated with a file in system32 called "nFltr1.sys". Its detail read as below:
c:\windows\system32\drivers\nFltr1.sys:
Verified: Signed
Signing date: 12:27 PM 19-Mar-19
Publisher: Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher
Company: n/a
Description: n/a
Product: n/a
Prod version: n/a
File version: n/a
MachineType: 64-bit
Now I don't know where to go from here. I don't understand this sys file, but if I remove it, my internet stops working. I Don't know which drivers to update/downgrade to fix this issue. Any help is appreciated
