14 DAY TRIAL // One more Windows 8.1 Preview bug report has reached the web this morning, pointing to an issue causing high RAM usage after deploying the OS update.
According to users who posted on Microsoft’s support forums, the problem appears to be caused by incompatible device drivers, so expect manufacturers to address this by the time the full version of Windows 8.1 comes out.
“Apparently this is related to a driver issue since I got a BSOD for nvlddmkm.sys when memory was almost all used up. I installed the older non-Windows 8.1 Preview drivers and the memory issue is gone. So that is good for now as long as I don't want to use and GPU goodness,” one user explained.
Microsoft is set to push Windows 8.1 Preview to RTM next month, while end users should get the final build of the operating system by the end of the year.
