Since I upgraded to Windows 10, my system has been consuming RAM excessively

I've been reading a bit and determined it's likely a driver leaking memory. So I got myself the Windows Driver Kit and tracked memory usage with poolmon:

However, I don't really know how to proceed from here. This poolmon.exe is very weird. Is the item tagged "APL-Paged" the culprit in this issue? How do I go from there to actually identifying the driver?

I tried some stuff like "C:\Windows\System32\drivers>findstr /s APL ." but it returned no results.

So yeah, any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Don't worry, this is fine and by design. Instead of paging out data to the page file and (mostly slow HDD), Windows 10 compresses the data and stores it in the SYSTEM process.
