Hi Trainzers,
I realise this may be a bit off-topic, but it may be of interest to those who are encountering memory usage issues with Windows 10.
In some instances, the System process (ntoskrnl.exe) uses a lot of memory (at one point on mine it was over 500MB, but looking at other sites about the issue some have had it as high as 2.1GB). This can be checked using Task Manager.
This appears to be an issue with the way the process operates, but I have managed to reduce mine down to just under 400MB by turning off the Windows Tips feature (Settings > System > Notifications and Actions > Show me tips about Windows).
Note that this is not a full solution (it's more of a workaround) as it looks like there is a memory leak in the ntoskrnl process. It also appears that the latest update does not fix the issue.
Hopefully this will be of use to other users who have Windows 10, as it may cause T:ANE and older Trainz versions to potentially run out of memory.
