\"Windows\"[German<\/a>]Brief note for people who run a Windows 10 with Intel processors of the 6th to 10th generation. If sporadic system crashes occur under Windows 10 (64 bit), a faulty Intel graphics driver newer than version 27.20.100.8587 may be the cause. The graphics drivers cause a memory leak in the Desktop Windows Manager. The problem is known since 2020, if my research is not deceiving. However, there has been a fix from Intel since Dec. 2021 in the form of the Windows DCH driver 30.0.101.1191.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Old bug from 2020?<\/h2>\n

\"\"While researching a memory leak in the Desktop Windows Manager, I came across reports that date back to 2020. As early as Sept. 5, 2020, there is this Microsoft Answers forum thread<\/a> stating a memory leak in Desktop Windows Manager (dwm.exe) under Windows 10 version 2004. <\/p>\n

\"Memory <\/p>\n

The thread is 16 pages long and one solution said that an Intel graphics driver was the cause. The remedy was the reddit.com post<\/a> to uninstall the driver and install an older version. <\/p>\n

The bug also seems to have affected users as late as March 2021, according to this Microsoft Answers forum post<\/a>. Intel has this forum post<\/a> from October 2020 that also addresses the problem. In November 2021, an Intel employee has come forward and reported that a beta driver 101.1121 fixes this issue.<\/p>\n

Intel confirms the problem, fix available<\/h2>\n

The days I came across the issue described by a user on 4\/19\/2022 via the patchmanagement.org mailing list.  There is a support post from Intel<\/a> with revision level Feb 17, 2022 titled dwm.exe (Desktop Window Manager) Produces a Memory Leak with Drivers Newer Than 27.20.100.8587<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n

Summary<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Describes an issue where drivers newer than 27.20.100.8587 are causing dwm.exe (Desktop Windows Manager) to produce memory leaks. <\/p>\n

Description<\/strong> <\/p>\n

dwm.exe<\/em> produces memory leak with 6th Generation Intel\u00ae processors through 10th Generation Intel\u00ae processors. The dwm.exe memory usage starts low (~30MB), accumulates over time, and may result in a system crash. <\/p>\n

Resolution<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Install Intel\u00ae Graphics \u2013 Windows* DCH Drivers driver 30.0.101.1191<\/a> or a newer version to fix the issue. If Windows Update distributes a different driver, a clean driver installation should be performed before installing driver 30.0.101.1191, which includes a fix for the dwm.exe leak.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Intel graphics drivers newer than version 27.20.100.8587 for Windows 10 cause a memory leak in the Desktop Windows Manager dwm.exe. This affects Intel\u00ae processors of the 6th to 10th generation with the following graphics units.<\/p>\n
