Update...

Task Manager indicated a new app process - “Microsoft Teams” - and I disabled from the Start-Up process.

However, no noticeable improvement in memory leak.

On Monday, I uninstalled the app and the memory improved close to pre-H24 update. It appears, even though disabled from start-up, it was still running in background & draining memory.

Thanks to both of you for your help & suggestions!

Thank you for sharing what you found! This might help others in the future. It appears MS changed out the app with a newer version. It is a cross platform peer collaboration app. And looks like it comes already “on” by default. So it is probably using resources while “listening” and “refreshing” for new messages.

This is also a resource problem with website chat applications that use “Ajax” and refresh constantly also.

Sound right dayglored?

Here is one that baffles me...

“Get the Microsoft Teams progressive web app on Linux”

Umm no... There are a bunch of open source cross platform apps just like it which are not MS, why the heck would Linux users even do that? :)

Microsoft Teams is, depending on your viewpoint and needs, a) a very useful professional-level corporate communications program, or b) a freakin' viral resource hog. The fact that Win11 has started auto-loading it at startup is annoying as hell.

Good find.
