Are you saying if you kill the process, it comes back on its own?

Duh! Yeah, see that now. I only saw the total of 28% of memory used before but he's got 64gb of RAM so it makes sense now.
poets, Did you have a massively big pic loaded in that program when you took that screenie?

Perhaps it has nothing to do with photos, but rather russians hacking ?
Or Iranians.

Or just Microsoft being Microsoft.
If you don't use it, uninstall it. If it doesn't have a uninstall option in the start menu, I'm sure there's a powershell command that will do it.

Hi,
Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.
I will be glad to help you with the issue you have with the computer. I understand the frustration when things don't work the way it should.
Please follow the below steps to know how to uninstall Photo App in Windows 10:
Close the Photos app if you currently have it open
In the the Cortana/Search Windows box type powershell
Click on ‘Windows PowerShell’ when it appears – right click on it and choose ‘Run as Administrator’
In the PowerShell window enter the following command (tip: copy and paste will save mistakes.
Get-AppxPackage *photo* | Remove-AppxPackage
A ‘Deployment operation progress …’ message will temporarily appear. When this goes the uninstall has finished.
The Photos app will now be gone and the Windows Photo Viewer will now be used to open your images.
Hope this information is helpful. Please post in case you have any further issues, we are happy to help you further.
Thank you.
But the bigger question is, why is this happening on your system and not on other people's? I would also run system file checker if I were you. I would also be wondering if another app on your system is at the root cause of this.

This did fix my issue a bit, apparently after more digging the Deluge Bittorrent Client (32 bit) appears to have a known memory leak issue. I'm showing that it's only using 197.0 MB but I'm at 16 GB of ram used w/ nearly nothing at all running. I'll have to dig further.

Nah I switched from qBittorrent due to multiple reasons.
