> Synaptics driver leaked memory whenever a process was created
Funny! I found out the same issue last week and ended up just uninstalling the driver (not sure how permanent that is, but I'd like to think it is). I thought I was going crazy - why I was hitting pagefile after 28 days of uptime but only using around 8/32 real GB of memory! I loaded up the ram viewer tool and was aghast - hundreds of thousands of zombie processes! Death by a thousand cuts!
- brucedawson 9y agoI guess that Synaptics driver was triply bad. I could see the memory leak in its process, and I could see the CPU usage it was triggering, but at the time I did not realize it was creating zombies. Wow.
