Deskscapes 8.51 + Win10 1803 + WDM.exe memory leak

from Stardock Forums

Deskscape is massively memory leaking on Win10 1803 X64 with 3 Monitors Single video stretched across all 3 monitors (currently leaking 5.5GIG of System memory)

Ether 3-way in NV surround @ 5760x1080 (combined) or 3-way separate 1920x1080 same memory leak results. 

From my tests its only happens with 3 monitors.. stretching a single video 2 monitors has no issues (or at lest not that I can tell)
No other StarDock software installed..

The this is next:

Quoting wolfsilverlone, reply 9

so I did something a bit different, Because using a "clean/Diagnostic" boot brakes part of my network/server tie-ins,
End of wolfsilverlone's quote

The reason for the clean boot is likely clear - to see what other third party app / setting may be causing the issue (again, one we have not seen DS associated with).

For this test, is the 'network/server' needed for it, meaning, is its temporary unavailability a problem for the test to be completed successfully?

IM holding off on any more details regarding my issue.. WIndows 10 1809 is around the corner, and maybe just updating windows will a hole new build might fix the problem (assuming the memory leak issue is DWM.EXE directly and not caused by deskscapes it self)

 

and yes fully disabling network services and a few windows server related dashboard managing components brakes my current setup and can force me to have to restore using a System image made that same day.. 

one of the reasons why I do a  daily backup to my personal server.

so far on 1809 DWM.EXE is holding at 104MB of system memory, 
DSHost.exe is holding at 313mb

So far every thing seems to be running as normal now.. will keep a update over the next 7 days assuming my pc doesn't need to be restarted at all
