Long story short. I had a problem with a browser. It kept filling non paged pool memory until computer came unresponsive and had to be hard reseted.
After looking things up I learned through poolmon that the tag (at)MP was the culprit. OK I changed browsers for now and the filling thing was resolved.
But I came bit paranoid over the usage on non paged pool after this and usually it sits around 400 used, but now It jumps to 1-2Gb and I almost lost it after it did this.
Well then I tried to look up what is this (at)MP is and learned its intel video driver. OK. Possible problem could be that the driver aint up-to-date and it was not, so I downloaded and installed the newest one. While it was removing the old one (clean install) the non paged pool dropped from 2Gb to the normal 400ish. The hog was found!
So my question is : is it normal that intel iGPU takes ~2Gb from the non paged pool? I have 16Gb overall on my rig, so it isnt too bad, but still feels big chunk.
Now hoping and praying it wont start leaking like during the use of the other browser.

Hello Prkl
Thank you for posting on the Intel Communities. I understand you are concerned about the amount of system memory the iGPU takes is making use of.
The Vram of the iGPU is shared with the system memory(RAM), so this value can increase or decrease based on the usage of the system or applications open. You can check more information in the following article:
