Memory continuously rises, probably because of various applications that I run including Chrome, and it starts to choke out windows so I try to reboot it after 3-4 days at the most.
When I am in the Task Manager after a complete cycle (shut down and start up) it shows 5 days 7 hours 30 minutes and some seconds. Also, Memory is at 2.9 GB after a restart, is this normal?
What kind of issues is this going to cause, other than I can't tell exactly how long it has been between cycles (restarts)?
How can I fix this issue?
I am running Windows 8.1 Pro. I have been trying for about 30 minutes to search Google for this issue and possible solutions but "uptime" is quite the ambiguous word.
shut down
and not asleep
orhibernate
function? If you're running Windows on laptop, instead of shutdown your default action might be to put computer on sleep, so check this out.
