Intelligent standby list cleaner

Intelligent standby list cleaner is a lightweight application designed to help you monitor and clear the memory standby list when it exceeds 1GB.

It is worth mentioning that the problem with the standby memory not being released is experienced by Windows 10 with creators update and it is especially visible with certain games that are not exactly optimized. According to gamers what happens is that the PC takes a noticeable performance hit once the free memory is exhausted.

The idea behind this tool is to monitor for the free and standby memory and make sure that the operating system releases it on time. On a side note, other solutions that help clear the memory imply rebooting the computer, which truth be told can be very frustrating.

The program comes with a simple one-window interface that display various relevant information, meaning the total system memory, standby list and system working set and free memory. You can set the two conditions for when the standby list can be purged, namely the when the list size and the free memory reach a certain threshold. You can also enable the custom timer resolution, but this is a feature that you should not tackle with unless you know what you are doing.

Considering the nature of the application, it goes without saying that it needs administrator rights to run. Even though the app cannot start with Windows or can be attached with a user logon for now, the developer recommends you use the TaskScheduler to configure the user and time when the tool should launch.

In the eventuality that you are experiencing performance issues while playing games or perhaps rendering, then you could check whether the this is due to the fact that Windows 10 is not releasing standby memory when required. If this is the culprit, then perhaps you can consider using Intelligent standby list cleaner to flush and release it.
