I'm also seeing this quite often lately. Not certain at what rev. it started.

The machine eventually runs out of memory and I'm forced to reboot after I note that Start11 Search is using nearly all of available memory.

Start11 Version 2.03

System Specs
Version: Release 5.8.1.5 x64 (12/5/2023)
OS: Windows 10 Pro - 22H2 19045.3693
CPU,GPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz [27%,0%]
RAM: 1.27G/31.6G

Machine was running a little slow today - I think this is the reason.

If you uninstall Start11 do you still see it?

If you install Start11, back up your settings, then revert to default

Do you still see it?

i unistall start11 for almost two hours the explorer not reached 120MB

i reinstall the latest start11 2.0.3.0 i didn't take any backup because i just change taskbar to small icons (there is other like set to left and always combine)

and now after 2 hours with start11 installed the memory

i did restart the laptop after uninstall the previous version

Have you run any searches and if so what search mode are you using (Start11 or 10)?

Successfully updated karma reason!

i don't have any product other than start11

i use Start11v2 on windows 11

i will do tests on a virtual machine

I noticed that it's not growing if i do nothing

opening run command and explorer increase it significantly (which i use both of them a lot)
