Memory Leak in W10 1809-1909

[SammiLucia]

Hi, thanks for an amazing product which I've used for years.

I've tried on 3 separate computers, with StartIsBack 2.8.9 installed, explorer.exe commit size balloons out over 1 or 2 days (see attached) on all 3 PCs. Sometimes up to 20 GB.

If I remove StartIsBack on any of the PCs this behaviour stops happening.

In addition, Chromium based browsers (Cent, Brave) start drawing a black screen on heavy use (30+ tabs, especially several YouTube tabs). Eventually Chrome and/or the PC will become unresponsive and hang.

Killing and restarting explorer.exe prolongs the eventual hang.

Of possible relevance, I'm also using UltraUXThemePatcher, and OldNewExplorer.

Enable GDI and USER columns, check if there is a resource leak?

Enable 'command line' column, check if it's main shell or separate browsers leaking?

Try to find any noticeable explorer.exe memory leak scenario?

Memory usage should be sub-100MB.

from further testing the cause is not StartIsBack 😊
