XPS 13 9300, memory usage 95-100%
Hello,
Using Windows 10 and latest drivers. In idle time, my system uses 95% of 16GB RAM, sometimes going to 100% and I'm getting memory errors. I'm not sure yet, but I think that this problem occurs due to Realtek sound card driver. Do you have any suggestion or solution?
If I remove realtek driver and use windows standard drivers for sound, I'm not facing any memory/RAM issue.
Maybe you will ask why I'm not using standard windows driver if it fix the issue? Because when I use standard windows Realtek drivers, my computer is not switching between headphone and speaker when I unplug the jack. I'm not getting sound sometimes from headphone, sometimes from speaker.
I've enabled the Windows standard driver and it works now. So how can I remove Waves MaxxAudio Pro audio as well? It consume more memory as well. I try to right click on the Waves MaxxAudio Pro and choose uninstall, it redirects me to programs and features on Windows but there is no entry for this app to uninstall?
Thank you.

Thank you! We have received the required details. We will work towards a resolution. In the meantime, you may also receive assistance or suggestions from the community members.
The Windows audio driver contains the Waves MaxxAudio Pro software bundle and this cannot be removed. From startup you won't have the option to disable it.
