aspnet_wp spiking memory usage

Ok,

I restart the aspnet_wp.exe, memory usage is at about 3 mb, the first
time I run one of my asp.net apps, the memory usage shoots to 30 mb
usage and remains there. Even if I close the IE window that I am
running my app in, the memory is not freed up. Is this normal? I am
imagining that the GC never cleans out the memory that aspnet_wp is
using.

Thank you

Yes this is normal, the application is probably cached in memory for faster
access.

Also are you using a lot of datasets? Datasets tend to suck up a lot of
memory.

That's pretty typical. The web application doesn't know when the
browser shuts down, so it remains ready to service new requests and
keeps cached information around.

We have about 4 .net applications on a windows 2000 IIS5 server, and recently the memory of the aspnet_wp.exe process has been increasing quickly until the process is automatically recycled do to reaching the 60% threshold of memory usage. This is not normal, and I need to determine which application is causing memory to spike. Does anyone know how to pinpoint which app is tied to the memory leak? Any help would be appreciated. Scott

Hello, We are experiencing some issues with the aspnet_wp process on our live servers. The problems are intermittent and we cannot reproduce it on our dev and test servers. Currently around twice a day the aspnet_wp process takes 100% of the cpu and causes the whole website to come to a stand still. We then have to end the process for the website to become useable. Once the aspnet_wp process recycled itself and in the event logs it...

Hi, I'm trying to debug a memory leak on a production application for one of my clients. The aspnet_wp.exe, if left to grow, will eventually consume enough memory to throw an out of memory exception. The thing that was unexpected is that most of the memory is not in the heap. The current usage stats are: total memory consumption of aspnet_wp.exe: 400MB

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
