Windows 10: Possible memory leak and how to fix it?

Ever since ive gotten a new computer i started playing games that require a pc with better specs, however since ive gotten this computer games like EAFC 25, NBA 2k25, Spiderman - remastered and so on have been running smooth for a little bit and all of a sudden during gameplay getting laggy, slow and unplayable. I think ive narrowed the problem down to it being a memory leak but im not sure if it even is a memory leak and if it is i dont know how to fix it. Im desperate and looking for help. PC specs :16GB RAM, CPU - IntelR CoreTM i7-12700K, GPU - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 TI

Possible Memory Leaks in Windows 10

A memory leak occurs when an application closes and fails to release all its RAM back to the operating system.

The first step in dealing with a memory leak is to determine which application is leaking memory.

The next step is to contact that application's technical support with complete details of the memory leak, since the developers will want to fix the problem ASAP.

 

Memory leak issue

The term "memory leak" means that an application fails to return all its RAM to the operating system when it exits. The leftover RAM is unusable to the operating system.

Step one is to identify the application that is leaking memory. Step two is to contact the application's developers and provide as much detailed data on the memory leak as you can. For example: which processes are still in RAM after the application exits
and how much RAM they occupy. Application developers never want their applications to leak memory and they will be grateful for the details you provide, particularly if they can replicate the leak on their own computers.

There's nothing that anyone here can do about a memory leak. Only the developers of leaking software can fix leaks in their software. This is a community forum. I suggest posting your issue on MSDN.
