[SOLVED] uTorrent causes memory leak in windows 10 anniversary update 2016

I have

  1. Windows 10 1607 (14393.10) Home x64.
  2. utorent 3.4.8 (42449)

I noticed that memory usage extremely increasing  during downloading with uTorrent. And bad news is that this is not application memory. This is nonpaged memory. Nonpaged memory continuously increases when uTorrent download something. When I stop utorrent and close it, Nonpaged memory stops increasing but can't be freed. I need reboot system for this.

Did anyone faced with this problem?

 

P.S.

I tried to disable "Disk write caching" for HDD device and reboot PC. Didn't help.

Thanks for answer, but this is didn't help.

Anyway, I was able to resolve my problem. There is nothing wrong with uTorrent. I have checked nonpaged pool statistics and problem was in:

  • Wfpn - netio.sys - "Network I/O Subsystem"
  • NDNB - "Windows Network Data Usage Monitoring Driver"

And memory leak depends on amount of data that goes thru ethernet. I remove all drivers for my  Killer NIC EE2200, and install it again. Now all works fine. Windows 10 anniversary update somehow break network drivers or configurations.

 

Please close this thread.
