Hello everyone. Yesterday I did a clean install of Windows because I built a new computer. I had Windows 10 on my computer before I did a reinstall and everything was working just fine. I noticed the first day after getting my computer all setup and working that my memory usage was higher than ever. It never usually goes above 6 out of 8 gigs, but it has. I think it has to do with Steam. Whenever I download a game, over time it goes up gradually of .1 or .2 every few minutes, and then after a few hours, it maxes out and the mouse lags and I can't even shut down my computer so I have to hit the power button. I think it also does it even slower when I just have it on idle. I read the forum post from a few years ago about a memory leak and followed "cluberti" advice. I did a perfmon of my memory, but I do not know how to read it, so I am going to post it here and hopefully you guys can and help me out with this. Thank you.

What does Task Manager show?

It just shows the memory going up. It keeps the same amount of ram usage for steam though. @shae
