Hi MaXimus

 

Interesting...you OK running 64bit & me OK running 32bit...so perhaps has nothing to do with OS and WSA but rather the point you rasied about making sure that MSE/Windows Defender is properly disabled, etc. Hmmmmmmm!

 

Regards

yes not only do you need to stop it, you also need to remove its startup entries via Autoruns.exe which are different entires for Win 7 or Win 8
It doesnt work...

I installed WSA on Windows 8.1 64-bit and disable Windows Defender manualy + all related entries in Autoruns.

After reboot: explorer.exe with 300+ MB RAM usage and much cpu impact... :(

 

Any other ideas?

On second notebook with Windows 8.1 32-bit everything is ok.
I'm not seeing this problem with Explorer.exe either, these are my results on 3 Pcs running WSA complete only: -

 

Desktop PC Win 8.1 64bit explorer is using 69MB

Laptop running Win 8.1 64bit using 27Mb

Windows Home Server 2011 64 bit using 27MB
Win 8.1 pro 64bit

Webroot SecureAnywhere AntiVirus (2014) 8.0.4.57

Explorer.exe using 65 Mb
WTF... Some have problems on 64-bit, some not... some on 32-bit...

Maybe it system settings-depended? But for what?
"Win 8.1 pro 64bit

Webroot SecureAnywhere AntiVirus (2014) 8.0.4.57

Explorer.exe using 65 Mb"

Clean system

It is established only webroot
I'll try on virtual machine.
Webroot SecureAnywhere AntiVirus (2014) 8.0.4.57

Maybe in the new version corrected this problem?
The same high usage on virtual machine with Win8 8.1 Pro x64 clean install.

But... I have 8.0.4.46 (downloaded by webroot website).

 

When I use icon -> check new version there is info, that I already use newest.

From where can I download newer version?
Hi lukasamd

 

Interesting that you are not yet on .57 version.  If you log into your Web Console (you can do so from the My Account tab in the WSA client on your machine) you should see in the right hand corner of the main console page, your userid (that you used to log into the Console with) + a dropdown arrow.  If you click on the dropdown arrow that should reveal a context menu the first entry of which will be 'Downloads'.  If you click on that you will be given the option to download your version for either Windows or Mac.

 

Download from there and then uninstall/clean install the downloaded version, and see if yo are now on .57, etc.

 

Post back to let us know how you get on.

 

Regards

I tried a new trial a few minutes ago. It is version 8.04.46. And can't update it to .57. It mentions that .46 is the latest version.

I did disable Windows Defender fully, but Explorer.exe still remains near 300 MB.
v8.0.4.46 is the current release we Beta testers are using v8.0.4.57 and I still have the issue on my Win 8.1 Pro x64 VM. To the one's that don't see the high Explorer.exe memory can you please Submit a Support Ticket so they can get some info from your system and that might help the Developers find a work around for the one's that still have it. Also please see here for updated version when they come out: https://community.webroot.com/t5/Release-Notes/PC-Release-Notes-8-0-4-46-includes-updated-Cryptolocker/td-p/77139#.UvkkfoU_9Xo

 

Thanks,

It is an odd bug.  On my computer explore.exe is using only 23 mb RAM.  
Hi lukasamd

 

My apologies for misinforming you on this...I should have known better 😳...but Daniel is quite right (as usual) and luckily is here to correct the mis-information.

 

Having said that I have to agree with Daniel that it is a weird issue...I have so far never seen explorer.exe running at 300Mb, regardless of version used.

 

Hi @ Daniel, I am a volunteer to provide Support with information on this...would you be able to suggest what information they might like or perhaps a consistent Support Ticket description for volunteers so that they know we do not have the problem/are offering info...otherwise they might have a seizure if deluged. ;)

 

Regards to you both.

David it's a Windows 8.1 64bit issue only no other OS are reporting this issue!

 

Also what Joe is asking for:

 

@ wrote:

We're still investigating this but the higher Explorer RAM is allocated by Windows in such a way that it will not impact system performance in any measurable or noticeable capacity. If you're experiencing any system performance degradation, I suggest writing into our support team so that they can inspect your logs and correct the issue.

 Cheers,

Thank you Petrovic!

 

A Beta link can be a problem as the software may not be stable, which is not good for less experienced users.  Being pre-release also means that it is not really officially supported either: it is sort of a "Use at your own risk" situation.
