I don’t know if anyone else has been experiencing memory leaks in the Desktop Window Manager (dwm.exe) and the Antimalware Service Executable (MsMpEng.exe) in Windows, but it has been plaguing me for months now.
I have issues on Windows 10 and Windows 11. All the web search shows I should update my Intel graphics drivers, which I do, but the issue persists. I am seeing it on Surface Laptop 3, Surface Go 2, and my work Dell Precision 5520.
Anyone else having similar issues? Any AMD users seeing this or not seeing this?

<p>If you use <em>Resource Monitor </em>and click the <em>Disk</em> tab you can then click on an individual process (in the "Processes with Disk Activity" headed area) and below it will show you the files that process is accessing (or you could use <em>ProcMon</em>, though it’s clearly more-complex to use). Maybe you could narrow-down a particular file that is constantly being accessed, and then check the properties for that file to get an idea what it relates to (maybe an anti-cheat or anti-piracy component)?</p>

<p>It would be unlikely to be a hardware issue as (1) I cannot imagine each of those three devices uses the same Intel CPU, or the integrated GPU on each is the exact-same and (2) it would be odd for <em>three separate devices</em> to all develop a similar hardware-issue at the exact same time!</p><p><br></p><p>However, Intel do have a tool you can install to test your CPU here:</p><p><strong>intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/15951/intel-processor-diagnostic-tool.html</strong></p>
