Am I being convinced ?Microsoft pushed out its Windows 10 Build 14942 to Windows Insiders today. Although the latest build contains several improvements, it will result in higher RAM usage for most users.
The End Of Svchost
Microsoft started to use grouped service host processes (svchost.exe) with the introduction of Windows 2000 as a method to conserve available memory. Microsoft continues to use svchosts today, but it isn't as necessary because the amount of RAM in typical computers has significantly increased.
A key feature of Build 14942 is the end of svchosts on systems that have more than 3.5GB of RAM installed. Instead, each service will run as a separate process. Microsoft said that this would increase service reliability, and it will increase transparency because you'll be able to see which services are running. It will also increase RAM usage somewhat, however, which could have a negative impact on devices with only 4GB of memory.

Alternatively, because now each component of svchost is a separate process, it will be easier to spoof and might be easier to miss.
Probably because of shared memory between cpu and igpu. On pretty much all the lower-middlerange laptops with 4gb ram that I prepare for our customers, task-manager says there's 3,5gb ram available
I like this change too.The build contains a useful modification to the Active Hours setting for businesses, which will allow companies to set up to 18 hours as active usage times.
Kinda. This is how an APU looks on Windows 7 in resmon.exe:
You beat me to it.
Not on the anniversary update? They added RAM compression there too (or at least display it in Task Manager).
Those apps should not come preinstalled in Enterprise so my hate for Win Spy Beta (permanent beta) has not diminished.
So you want them to complain about something good?
Sparked my interest to search for some numbers about windows 10 in the enterprise world. Wonder if any very large companies have adopted this OS, I assume it's going to be a low number since most companies can't afford to lose stability and large scale upgrades aren't the easiest of tasks.
