Good day. I have been using Anki with 5 addons for a few years now, and I am now getting RAM usage that is ramping up with how long I use the app and go through cards. Not really doing many cards (today whilst troubleshooting, I have done ~400 cards), but the RAM usage ramps up to ~2500mb and causes…

Thank you for the response. I found that thread with a Google search, but I don’t think that is quite the same, and I am not adding cards/resizing the screen. I am running a 4k screen though, so might exponentially perpetuate the issue. [image] kleinerpirat: Dae said it seems like a bug on Qt’s…

Sounds more like a plugin causing a possible memory leak on your specific system/environment. Just for fun I ran 2.1.41 with sparsely populated plugins on my Mac system, switched profiles and did normal learning and sync for 20 minutes. The RSS grew from 134 to 157Mb. I need to keep it around a li…

Only way to isolate this is to disable all plugins and enable one at a time, or a group to see if a plugin caused the issue, also if it’s related to the specific Anki version that was added in. I assume you have not upgraded your Windows environment.

Yes, Anki plugins. Check your environments to see what the difference is, that’s always a start when diagnosing system/app issues.

[image] khs: Yes, Anki plugins. Thank you. However, in the OP, I stated that I uninstalled all addons/plugins on Anki, and the issue persists. [image] owen13: The same issue manifested with ZERO addons, where the RAM was continuously ramping up to around 1800mb and causing transition lag…

I believe I have been experiencing this issue since I first used Anki (Windows). For half a year at least. I regularly need to restart Anki to get the memory usage down. It is quite crippling… @prollo did a great bug report during the 2.1.36 beta phase: [image] Anki 2.1.36 Beta Bet…

I also have the same issue on Windows.

Dae, thank you for the link. For some reason, that didn’t show up when I was searching for some help. However, I was able to come to the same conclusion that changing the graphics driver to ANGLE, instead of OpenGL solved this problem. Thank you. After running additional tests today and yesterday, …
