Warning: All this text was yanked from it’s original autor at https://wj32.org/. Since the server does not work/respond anymore I rescued the article and exe from archive.org. I found this solution to a common problem of windows using and not freeing standby memory. If you like me do not use swap file then things goes nasty when memory fills up. Adding an schedule task in Task Scheduler calling EmptyStandbyList.exe every 5m does a nice job ensuring that the memory is clean and free.
