hp hotkey uwp service using up all of my ram. I’ve tried about every solution I could find online, and I’m at a loss.
Please help

I had the same exact issue on the same product when I upgraded to Windows 11 yesterday. I had to go back to Windows 10 because it kept crashing my computer. On Windows 10 it barely uses any of my RAM. Does anyone know how to fix this? Is it a glitch or bug with Windows 11 on the HP Zbook 15?

It is using 49 GB of my 64 GB. Definitely seems like a memory leak. Please fix it.

Hi,

I’ve noticed the same problem here after upgrading to 21H1 today. The problem does not seem to occur where I delay the startup of the HP Hotkey UWP Service. I’m not sure, if these are proper workarounds but you might try this:

Set the startup type of the HP Hotkey UWP Service from Automatic to Automatic (Delayed start). This delays the startup of the services until all the other Services with run type Automatic are launchend. This currently seems to work on my machine, albeit the hotkey functionality isn’t available in the first 1-2 Minutes after a reboot.
Set the startup type of the Service to Manual and start the service using a script or idk after login. This could be done automatically using the Windows Task Scheduler, but I did not try this….
