maybe I got the offending crook
I have a couple of process, Bit Defender and Google Drive, that normally sucks 300-400 MB, but in certain circumstances they suck about 1 GB almost, and maybe more
I suspect that their RAM needs increases too much when Google Drive moves big files on the net and BD look at those strange bits flying away
I cannot kill either, because the first one keep my system safe, and the second keeps my work (translation) safe, but yesterday night I stopped Google Drive and found 1 GB more was available and the audio system was way more stable
about audio drivers my device is the NI Komplete Audio 1 and was considered not compliant with Windows 8 since a few months ago, at the point I was afraid to have bought a lemon
recently they updated the drivers that seems compliant now, so I hope they are fine
Now it’s to early to crow over a victory, because I have many tools running in the background, but I am hopeful that the culprit is close to be clapped in jail
