Troubleshoot Photos App

[Local Host]

I didn't know where to post this, so it goes here...

I'm looking for some insight as to why the Photos App is using more resources than it needs on standby, I'll provide a printscreen to give a clear picture.

Restart the app. It happens to me with ZAM. When i open the pc its around 74mb. When i put the computer to sleep mode and open it again after some time ZAM is 140mb.

Doesn't seem like a long term solution, I would just uninstall the Photos App but I need it

Some native apps are still in need of further refinements, the reference goes to the Photos app for sure.
A similar problem existed also two years ago based on my experience, so I uninstalled it and now I use FastStone Viewer, light and fast.

Microsoft.Photos.exe uses around 70MB RAM for me on my system (generally speaking).

Do you happen to have any security software installed? (e.g. someone above mentioned ZAM).

Thanks for the suggestion, I miss the old image software.

I had issues with my Network Adapter too but installing the latest drivers from Realtek solved the problem.

For a moment I though it was Malware, but Kaspersky, Malwarebytes, ZAM (Portable) and Hitman Pro didn't detect anything.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus the only one running in real time, I'm impressed by how light it is

Check the modules within the process if you can. Maybe it is related to Kaspersky (wouldn't have thought they'd be injecting into the Photos app but it is still a possibility).

If they aren't doing this then you could test if it is Kaspersky by doing a full uninstallation and then re-checking.

It would unusual however for Kaspersky to cause a problem with the Photos application of all of them.

Kaspersky isn't hooked into it, only the usual Microsoft stuff. It's using less resources now though...
