As I said, I'm not familiar with the way that Windows shows memory
statistics, but I do know that both on Windows and Linux, people often
get confused because the OS aims only to keep a small amount of memory
free. I was assuming that memory used was total - free, rather than
reflecting that which could not be released without fatally harming a
running process.


Sounds like a classic memory leak. Not familiar with ws2019, but you
need to track down what's causing it. For example, does the problem
go away if you disable ntpq.exe and is that part of the os, or third
party utility ?. Are you sure ntpq.exe terminates after execution,
or is it staying resident in memory ?...

Chris
