Fix "huge memory leak" in Windows 10 and 8 [ Non-paged pool using high memory ]

[@mastershadowfox]

After a cold restart it worked great on my win 10 64 bit! I had 6.1 GB in non paged pool, 90% usage. Now I'm down to 201 MB in non paged pool with 25% usage. You are a lifesaver my man!

[@Aaron-ru6ld]

I have a fucking 28 gb non paged pool wth

[@SubmitToTheBiomass]

I appreciate that you're going very slowly so it's easy for people to follow along but the exaggerated slow pace combined with the music makes me feel like I'm watching this on valium

[@tomasvil]

I wish more computer fix tutorials were like this. It is so easy to follow this one

[@marcinkukawski6979]

Fantastic! I was unable to find a solution for half a year and was thinking of upgrading RAM. Thankfully following your video freed 7GB.

[@sadrootbeer]

was about to drop $100+ on more ram sticks because i thought i had a slow comp. Thank you so much

[@oddworlddude]

I just tried this since I've had the "Non-Paged Pool bug" for a while now, and I've instantly gone from 85% memory usage and down to only 20% (when I first logged onto desktop)! Cheers for this video, so far it has been very helpful and I may leave a reply to this comment to update you guys on how well this fix has worked :)

[@iidubious3546]

Tom Horror reply?

[@Leon_2777]

Works. Just make sure you reset your computer after doing all the steps.

[@ezioboiz-ieatchildren-]

you mean restart? right?

[@schmene]

This worked for me! Before this tutorial, my computer was using 8-10GB of ram out of my 16 every time I started it up after being unplugged. Thank you so much!

[@Online-Ed]

THANKYOU! I cannot say how well this worked after system restart, (16 gb ram, i7 4790) i have been suffering from a massive 11- 13 gb non paged pool. This has caused many programs to tell me they were suffering low memory at first i was hesitant to set it to 192 mb but it seems to be working fine! thankyou, great video This works for my 64 bit windows 10

[@DEEPUDASyoutuber]

you are welcome :-)

[@denlog1177]

If this does not work there is also a Ndu folder in the same location as the Null one. It also has a Start that can modified, set it to 4 too.

[@h_oom4114]

this is literally the best tutorial out there, i tried everything and nothing worked. from 1.1gb paged it went to like 101mb

[@mattb9299]

MASSIVE KUDOS to you my friend. I have been googling this problem for ages. I have an IT background but just could not work it out. You have done in 1 video that i have not been able to find in 50+ google searches and 4 days.

[@mattb9299]

That's a like and a Sub ma duude

[@AllMuscle1]

Just found this after a 3 week hunt for a solution to fix my huge nonpaged pool problem. It was eating upwards of 45GB of my 64GB of RAM, at times leaving me with a 99% usage and resulting in the freezing solid of the operating system. The only recourse was to shut down the system via the power button and restart. I am not home right now, but when I get there, I am going to try this! Wish me luck.

[@Gooman130]

Thank you!!!! Took my 10.9GB of non-paged pool down to 250MB! The only method that worked out of the four I tried!

[@jrdsilva]

Out of all the videos on youtube, this one worked for me...thanx a ton!!!

[@wilder6408]

For anyone following this, this will make VSCode and other windows applications crash in silent ways. Do not do it unless you can live with that.

[@binchsoda]

Dear DEE Z, I don't usually talk like this in comments, but you sir are my savior. Thank you.

[@sipchen]

BEWARE: Changing the Null value disabled my Dropbox syncing, and disabling any attempts of uninstall and reinstall of dropbox.

[@rasoolmohmed]

I would like to know the affect of the changes made in regedit

[@flasher40]

Thank you so much, it has helped clearing atleast 1GB of "Non-paged pool" usage, I recommend everyone to try it, because it can help.

[@cameronfair8105]

Thanks, it worked. I don't understand why 8 GB of my 16 was used as soon as I started my computer, but I don't have to anymore.

[@sernik6649]

Dude, you literally saved my life. My Non-Paged pool went from 11 GB to 1,9 GB. Thank you.

[@George5589]

Thank you! work for me as well from 11.5gb back to 325mb! Make sure restart after steps!

[@JulesSchattenberg]

It worked, but later the non-paged pool became big again. I checked the settings in Regedit but they were still as this tutorial shows.

[@twinsiak]

same here, the solution worked on my custom PC at home, I've got Dell OptiPlex 3040 with 16GB of ram at work (Win10 Pro) and pagefile recently went up to 1.4GB. I've tried different solutions but so far no luck. This could be related to the recent Spring Creators Update... Well done Microsoft

[@robustkintaki9375]

@@twinsiak if any of you have found a fix please let me know

[@EvaldasWinter]

Aww man thanks, I had like over 10GB in nonpaged pool. Now its just 241MB. :)

[@jeffmatthew1]

Awesome! Fixed my issues, thank you. To everyone saying it doesn't work, you have to restart computer for it to take effect.

[@peterbilt1768]

actually i see at 4:10 your hardware reserved just 108mb, in my pc the size is 1,4gb i have 8gb ram my system is 64bit,,, pliz help me fix ??

[@Irondeath009]

Also people before you do this make sure u make a restart point so that you can go back to your previous settings just incase it messes up your Comp.

[@Aracos84]

I'm curious, the change to nonpagepoolsize makes so its using a fixed value isntead of lettign the system decide, but what does the second entry change. I cannot find Infos on the null group. I can only say if it helped after some time, because the restart emptied the nonpagepool anyway. But thanks so far. EDIT: after a reboot the value of the nonpagepoolsize returned to 0

[@moviebrain2008]

Thanks a lot !!! One more question, please tell me the name of the music... Beautiful song!

[@belochka-h4r]

Wow bro thanks a lot! I don't know what those values ​​are but my 10gb ram is now working again!

[@jbakker973]

Big thanks from me, it cut my Non-paged pool from 6,5GB to 104MB. Great video!

[@burcusw]

Thank you it worked after the restart but I have a question: Are the numbers that you entered variable according to size of RAM or anything else?

[@Screamus]

YOU ARE AWESOME!!!! 16GB ram @ %95 on boot/idle, down to %11!!!!

[@jacobmoore9761]

What does the 2nd registry setting do, the one where you set Start to 4?

[@michaelelkin9542]

I believe 4 for a service means disabled. However I don't know what is the null service.

[@jacobmartin3022]

I did this and it seems like it worked, but can anyone tell me what these settings actually do?

[@JE-zl6uy]

they set the non-paged pool to a specific maximum. The example has 4gb of total system memory, the setting here changes the max to 192mb. You can change this to a number that you feel should be average. as I have 16gb I changed this to 512mb to be "Fair" to the system. The issue here is that this is a method to "Stop" a leak but it doesn't fix the underlying issue. Memory will leak up to a point, and then Windows sees the non-paged pool is maxed out and *should* refresh it in an attempt to get more. Regardless: Whatever is leaking memory in non-paged shouldn't be doing it in the first place!

[@zeis2127]

@@JE-zl6uy so for 8gb how much would it be

[@asricaa]

@@zeis2127 half that probably

[@clingyants]

for me it jumps back to hexadecimal, instead staying on decimal after pressing ok. wtf

[@walfrat1]

It does not work anymore since I got the Windows fall update. Values are still there in the registry but my memory is full, and it's again the nonpaged pool

[@Ti6ko95]

Thank you very much. I had 8 GB of non-paged ram and now i have 170 MB. My settings are 16 gb ram and a i7 4790 with an gtx970 Para los hispano hablantes a mi me funciono y bajó de 8 GB de memoria no paginada a 170 megas

had 7.5gb nonpaged and this fixed it, LEGEND

[@SashaMasonVR]

Not for me unfortunatly. Still get 5.4 GB of nonpaged with 8 GB of ram (end up with 97% usage)

[@tvscreen3204]

I am having a problem it's stuck at Saying in use 2.2gb available 1.7gb but on non-paged pool it's at 134mb what do I do

[@epiphoney]

The description has mistakes in it. I've tested this in windows 10 with sysinternals notmyfault to test the leak, and the registry entry to limit the memory doesn't work anyway. And is the other registry entry null or ndu?

[@张杰-s8f]

It's not working for me(win10), also I found that git will broken as: could not open '/dev/null' for reading and writing: No such file or directory, if you do video steps. I guess second change value 4 cause this problem.

[@arandomdoomer2065]

Does this fix still work? My ram is almost 3GB/4GB all the time

i have windows10 1607 64bit, my ram is 16gb in performance it's showing 8gb after following this step it'll showing 10gb? just added 2gb only

[@Shadawgg]

Hello, after using this my laptop non-paged tool when to 178mb but the ram is still 1gb :( i cant fix it :(

[@eastcoasthandle]

Wait is the regedit the Null folder or is it the Ndu folder? I'm confused...other's states to change start from 2 to 4 using Ndu. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Ndu\Start from 2 to 4 Reboot

[@613alex]

If i set Null->Start=4, git gives me error "fatal: open /dev/null or dup failed: No such file or directory". Win10x64

[@renatocapelo]

are you sure it is on hexadecimal instead of decimal?

[@cre8ivecat23]

What’s with the cut right after you close the registry editor? Why does the time change from 11:39am to 11:32am?

[@DEEPUDASyoutuber]

Let me know the timeline you say

[@pasemes]

3:34 it is not Null folder it is Ndu (worked for me setting Start in the Ndu folder)

[@atefrustn7332]

yes ndu

[@skullrunner]

after some time after the restart the non paged comes back up and If I restart once again it just stays there ... any help

So do these settings stay the same regardless of how much ram? I have 32gb.

I've done this at first it worked. Though it climbs back up from 300mb to over 1gb within a few days. It only resets back to 300mb when I restart my PC. This has progressively become worse as I am needing to restart my PC more often. Does anyone know I can fix this issue?

[@DEEPUDASyoutuber]

Blue stack is one of the biggest junk application i have ever seen,. if you want to use android on pc the Andy os is better than this. And another thing is if you use better graphic system may you can manage it. Ram memory only support 25% of system performance and all other division is graphic system(graphic card), hard drive space, OS and the hardware configuration. You can try, but it is not sure that this will work 100%.

[@chuy7880]

Andy didn't work on any of my PCs. Nox is a lot better than BS. try it out sometime. I found out that windows 10 performs poorly due to factory settings. Just a lot of tweaking needed for optimizing a new PC.
