Hi Everyone,

I am currently running Windows 10 Pro (Build 10525) on my main laptop. I have 8GB of RAM on this laptop. When I open Task Manager and click on the Process tab, I see the System process taking 1,930MB of RAM on its own... Is this normal? Is there a way of fixing this?

Thanks.
 
Why are you still on such an old insider preview build?

Windows Update seems to take a really long time with getting updates... I have been on 55% for days, getting updates for the Microsoft Office software. I am aware of the new build that recently dropped, I am probably going to update to it after these updates are done downloading. I tried looking on Microsoft's website for the ISO links, but I couldn't find them.
 
Kill the process and see what happens, but definitely not normal.
 
Not sure if this is same issue I had about 1 and half week ago.

Some Windows 10 updates came through and after reboot my system process was causing the whole PC to become slow as hell.
Memory usage stayed at 97% - 99% using up all 8GB system memory.

After doing some research on Google found it had something to do with network card drivers.
I downloaded the latest drivers from Gigabyte website and after removing , reboot and re-install the latest driver the issue was fixed.
