Paged Pool is constantly rising. After 24 hours, I have a paged pool of 800MB.

The tags with highest paged pool usage as of now are: 1>MmSt 146396864 K 2>CM31 126894080 K 3>XNS 49524736 K

How do I reduce paged pool usage? Is it normal for Windows 8.1 x64 to have an 800MB+ paged pool after 1 day of casual use consisting of web browsing and watching movies and nothing else? Please help.

If you need more information, please ask. Total installed RAM is 8GB.

Update: I have an uptime of about 12 hours, and my paged pool is at 873 MB. Paged Pool Poolmon looks like this: poolmon

Please suggest. It's ALWAYS MmSt that's increasing wildly, not CM31 or anything else.. Had Intel Rapid Storage driver installed, I uninstalled it and m now using the default Windows 8.1 storage driver but the issue has not been resolved :(

  • CM31 = registry and MmSt = Memory management. How long does t takes until you see a grow? You have to sue xperf/WPA to trace this: channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Defrag-Tools/… Increase the MaxFile value to 2048 if it takes a bit longer to see a grow. May 30, 2015 at 5:18
  • Magicandre1981, they grow as i use the computer- watch videos, browse web in firefox, play mp3s, write in ms word, pretty much anything i do will cause a steady growth of paged pool. If i leave the computer turned on but idle, it doesn't grow much- but if i use it, it'll hit 800MB in a day, 1.5GB in 2 days.... Only paged pool, non-paged pool generally stays below 150 MB... :(

  • the MSDN link you gave is not opening here, it says "The page isn't redirecting properly. Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."...

    This has been manually transferred from cs.stackexchange and the OP went into more detail there.

    Not sure if relevant, but I just experienced a multi-gigabyte leak by transferring thousands of files from my Android phone over USB. I traced the allocation back to the MmSt paged pool tag.
