Hi,

Whenever I run Zoom' the memory consumption of Desktop Window Manager raises from negligible standard to  around 1500 MB.

This create a slow and unstable zoom session.

What can be done?

Hey @chermesh, I would suggest uninstalling Zoom, rebooting your device, and reinstalling Zoom from https://zoom.us/download to see within Task Manager if the memory usage % doesn't increase. I would also suggest just having just Zoom open while looking at the ram usage. 

 

After the fresh re-install, let me know if that helps!
