Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1094

Describe the bug

Over 70000 page table entries for "barriers.exe" totalling 2.2GB, resulting in 100% ram usage in Task Manager. Caused slow down of my machine and lots of lag. Managed to solve by "Empty Standby List" feature of RAMMap program.

This is even though I have not used Barrier in a while. (I have disabled it in the Startup tab of Task Manager)

To Reproduce

I don't know what is caused it but even after reboot it continued.
However, it did not return when rebooting after the RAMMap solution.

Expected behaviour

Barrier to not be running at all.

Desktop:

OS: Windows Version 10.0.19042 Build 19042
Barrier version 2.3.3

Additional context

RAMMap: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/rammap

+1 on this issue, finally got around to figuring out what's been eating away at my memory, I had the same excessive page table entries as shown above. For me it was over 1GB of memory for 5 days of uptime (computer put to sleep every night)
