system guard runtime monitor broker using a lot of memory

Recently I have noticed that system guard runtime monitor broker has been using a lot of memory. Restarting my computer temporally fixes a problem but after a few hours it's back to using a lot of memory. I know it should use about 1.2 mb of memory where
mine is using over a 100 mb. Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks in advance

 

System Guard Runtime Monitor Using Absurd Amounts of RAM

System Guard Runtime Monitor Is using absolutely insane amounts of ram.

I have 16 Gigabytes of RAM along with 25 Gigabytes of vRAM, this single program manages to sometime use 20% of that. I can't click end task on it, it says "access denied", if I restart it stays at a few MB for about 5 minutes then shoots back up to hundreds
of MB or even a few thousand. I can't even change its priority in the details menu of the task manager because I again get an "access denied" message.

I have seen this problem in many other forum posts, all of which have incorrect answers that "fix" the wrong problem or don't work at all. Often people have been saying to close the Runtime Broker even though this is a different program and I have not had
any problems with it. They also say to close it, which again, doesn't work, as you can close Runtime Broker but not System Guard Runtime Monitor. Even an answer saying to close the task and restart the person's computer when in their question they stated that
they couldn't close the task and restarting didn't fix it.

Microsoft, I (and probably many others) would like an actual method of fixing this from an actual person for this problem.

 

Runtime Broker Parameters

Hi,

Thank you for using Windows 10.

I would like to inform you that Runtime Broker is a Windows process in Task Manager that helps manage permissions on your PC for apps from Windows Store. It should only use a few megabytes of memory, but in some cases, a faulty app might cause Runtime Broker to
use up to a gigabyte of RAM or more.

If your RAM use is high and your PC is running slowly, an app may be the cause of the problem. If it’s using more than 15% of your memory, you probably have an issue with an app on your PC. To stop Runtime Broker from using so much memory, select
Runtime Broker in the list, select End task to close Runtime Broker, and then restart your computer.

• Let us know which all apps are open at the moment when you see the memory high.

I would suggest you to run the System maintenance troubleshooter and check if it helps.

Follow the steps:

a: Press the
Windows key and click on Settings.

b: Type Troubleshooting
and select troubleshooting.

c. Click View all on the left pane of the screen.

d: Click on
System maintenance.

e: Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions.

You may also try setting the priority of the service as low and check. Here is the steps:

• Open the Task manager. Here’s a tip: Press CTRL+Shift+ESC
  or Right click on task bar and select Task manager.
• Go to Details tab.
• Locate Runtimebroker.exe and right click on that, click on
  Set priority, choose low from the drop down menu.
• Click on Change priority.

To make sure your system is not affected, you may also run Windows Defender and check.

You may run Offline defender also. See the link:
Virus and Threat Protection in the Windows Security App - Microsoft Support

Disclaimer: Data or files which are infected by malware/virus might be beyond cleaning and have to be deleted entirely to maintain the integrity of your system, which means there might be a potential for data loss.

Hope it helps. Let us know if you need more information and we'll be happy to assist.

Have a great day.
