Title: Is there a way to schedule "Clean Memory"?
Post by: sgjenks01 on June 27, 2015, 04:10:16 pm
Hi,
I'm running Windows 8.1 with all the latest patches. I'm also running a gargantuan 32 bit application, which actually starts 18 different processes when it runs. The manufacturer tells me that because WOW64 (the 32 bit emulator) for 64 bit Windows Operating Systems only allows their program 4 Gb of room to run in, I have to keep memory use at a minimum. This despite the fact that my PC has 32 Gb of memory!

I have found that the application tends to grow in memory over time and eventually starts to get sluggish/crash if I let it get too big. However, if I run your Clean Memory utility, the application shrinks significantly from initial installation, and then again every time I run the utility. So, I was wondering if there is a way to automatically run the Clean Memory utility on a schedule somehow.

Thanks!

In Scheduled Tasks, you can change from the default of running every 15 mins to a time of your choice. I have mine set to run every 5 mins.

Thats if he has my cleanmem program installed from my other site.

If you are talking about the cleanmem in my windows repair tool, just create a new scheduled task and have it point to Tweaking_CleanMem.exe which is in the files folder with the windows repair program. Have it set to run every 5 or 10 min and make sure you have it run with admin rights. Thats all you need to do :-)

@sgjenks01: I would recommend to download, install & use the standalone CLEANMEM application:

http://www.pcwintech.com/cleanmem.

The installation program will also automatically install the Task Scheduler job. Then you can modify Task Scheduler more easily. And that version has a number of additional features.
