WDFME.exe RAM hog

Brandon,

When I check the VSS Service as per you instructions (below)…

I find that he VSS service is already STOPPED anyway - and that it is set to ‘manual’ - evidently this service cannot be the problem if it is never running but I am still getting the memory hog problem

Should I start this VSS service?

Btw - I have been using my PC constantly since boot-up for approx 1 hour now - the memory usage is up to 78% and WDFME is using 4.3Gb! (I have 8Gb RAM in this PC)

I will now end the WDFME process… and memory is back down to 24%!!

For the people that are having this issue, can I have you test something?  Disable VSS.

Open the services.msc snap-in and double click on “Volume Shadow Copy” in the services list and select “Disable” in the dialog box.

While looking at the services list, then right-click the WD File Management Engine and click “Restart”.
