Non paged buffer pool memory growth

Question

During the use of the Xinhua Third Server Windows Server 2016 system, there was an increase in non paged buffer pool memory over time, and the non paged buffer pool memory increased to around 20GB. However, no process was found to have a significant increase in memory usage in the task manager. After restarting, the non paged buffer memory was released

Answer 1

Hello Thank you for your question and reaching out. A large non-paged pool size frequently implies that a system component or device driver has a memory leak. Start Perfmon, choose Process as the performance object, pick Pool Nonpaged Bytes as the counter, pick all instances, and then choose Add. This will display the amount of Pool Nonpaged Bytes memory that each active process is utilising. --If the reply is helpful, please Upvote and Accept as answer--
