Why does this happen?

Fresh restart ~6 hours ago, zero programs launched since then, and memory fills up with... nothing.

If I run some stuff it will slowly displace the nothing that's eating RAM. However after I close those programs, the free space is slowly re-consumed. It doesn't happen all the time. If I'm doing something that's I/O or CPU intensive and RAM reaches near 100%, everything bogs down to a slideshow.

Please note the size of the largest program running, and the TOTAL size of listed non-OS programs running is less than 500MB out of 8GB available. It's not search indexing, there's plenty of virtual memory, there is no malware and installing more RAM did not help (had 4GB, same behavior but worse results because of the smaller pool).

What the heck is going on?

One of the processes thats running is leaking memory. I'm honestly suprised it hasnt crashed yet. How about you uninstall all that retarded shit, then reinstall it one by one until the problem reappears.?

Then you'll know which program is leaking..

Actually, you should uninstall half the optional stuff. If that fixes it then reinstall half the uninstalled stuff. Otherwise uninstall half the remaining optional stuff.
And so on until you have isolated the bad bit.
Much quicker than doing one at a time.

its known issue with of the updates on win7. there is a way to fix this,either blocking the exact ( they are multiple ones) svchost.exe from running or by running a tool m$(?) created to update and fix it. i remember there was a link in the microshill site about a year ago while i was searching for a solution.
