Hello,

I have desktop with i7, graphics intel hd 4600, 8GB ram. A few days ago i've installed windows 10.

When i use microsoft driver for my graphics card system uses 1,2GB ram.

But... when i install driver Intel® Graphics Driver for Windows® 10 [15.40][4th Gen] OR Intel® Beta Graphics Driver for Windows® 7/8.1/10* [15.40] system uses 5,6GB.

System works stable but i cannot run virtual machines or other things that needs more memory.

I'm sure that it's problem with this because i following system monitor when i uninstall drivers for graphics card.

What can i do to repair that problem?

Hi

I cant't find out what is wrong so I decided to wait. And... Today everything works. I was installed driver from January but the problem sometimes shows up. And after some windows updates now everything works. I have opened chrome... and I have used 2,9/8GB.

Thanks for your help.
