Sonar 2025.02 (Build 077, 64 bit) Not Releasing System Memory Usage

I'm having an issue with Sonar still displaying high memory usage after closing a project.

I have to reboot to "reset" the System Memory Usage displayed in the Sonar System Performance Meter.

Attached is a screen shot including the Performance Meter after closing a project still showing 38% or about 28 GB.

However, the Memory Usage for Sonar displayed in the Task Manager/Performance tab displays 7 GB related to this screen shot.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

I run sessions that will eat up to 80-90 Gb of my 128 available, but after flushing back to just the basic OS requirements leaves me with about 4.2Gb actually in use. I've found that NI Kontakt (et al), Spitfire, and UVI have a tendency to hang around in the Standby ram waiting for cocktails or the after party for some reason, so...

{Some folks have an issue with, and will argue about my method, but I've been using it for 25+ years with zero issues:}

DL "Rammap(dot)exe" and unzip it somewhere convenient.

Create a batch file to open a CMD window and (with echo on, and a 2 second delay between each command) run the <Empty Standby List> & <Empty Working Sets> commands to flush the ram. Store the batch file somewhere convenient like the desktop and name it "Flush Ram(dot)bat" or something.

I do this after and/or between each session.

Works like a charm. It has never failed. Not even once.

[Here's the batch file:]

::@echo off
echo
cd\{YOUR  EXACT LOCATION OF RAMMAP}
START rammap -Et
timeout/t 2 /nobreak
START rammap -Ew
timeout/t 2 /nobreak
Exit

yeah, rammap is one of many great tools in sysinternals originally created by Mark Russinovich from MS (not just a genius but also a really nice person). using the autostart as admin to cleanup all kinds of misc things that run on your machine, as well as rammap, process explorer, and many more you can keep your machine running clean as well as troubleshoot it.
