YES!!!!!! , it is working now. Not sure though if it was due to update 4.6.5.2 or that I first uninstalled Blue iris , uninstalled the video driver , rebooted in between and than installed the video driver and Blue iris again.

Anyway I am very happy that my system is working normally again :)

I still have this same issue. BlueIris starts with 7-8% cpu and 800mb of memory usage, which has been typical with my current setup for the last 6 months or so. After a day or so the cpu usage climbs up to 40% and ram usage goes to 1.5gb, and one or more of the cameras starts being displayed with a lag on the screen. Restarting the BlueIris service fixes the issue until it happens again.

I haven't reported this to Ken since my support plan has also expired. I will probably pay and send him an e-mail after. From now on, I will download every full version update in case this happens again, so that I can go back.

if this was happening for 6 months its not a bi issue but rather an intel driver issue...install the correct driver without the memory leak.

I should have been more clear. I meant to say that the computer has been running with the same setup (cameras, settings and hardware) "without any issues" for 6 months. This issue started after I upgraded to 4.6.4.12 and 4.6.5.2 did not fix it. I have been using the same Intel drivers since July.

I don't understand it.

When I first posted all was OK , it was for about 40 hours I think. I rebooted , than it was OK for about 20 hours. Yesterday , I noticed 89% RAM usage , about 12GB. I rebooted, now about 24 hours later I check again , cpu stable at 31%, RAM still at 4.2 GB.

Can it be that something triggers the RAM percentage to creep up very fast suddenly?

Hi guys. Updating my Intel graphics driver fixed my issue. With that said, windows automatically installed the driver it thought best from Windows update after I updated the driver manually. This caused my memory issue to come back after a couple days of working great. I initially thought updating the driver did not fix the issue. Windows automatically updating the driver from Windows automatic updates caused my issue to come back. I looked up how to keep windows from updating drivers automatically and applied the change in settings for this effect. Now I have no memory usage issues. I wanted to say this because it was not immediately apparent to me as i just thought my issue came back after I changed the driver. Hope that helps somebody.

I payd the fee to blue iris for support and send an email, but it is the same email adress I have send it to before. I hope I will get a response now , since my 2 emails before were never replied.

Well this one looks like an Intel bug to me. Re-posting my own experience that I posted on the other thread...
Wanted to wait a day and make sure all was well before I jumped the gun. Followed your instructions to the T and I am finally back down to 8-10% CPU (from 90%) with 20% memory consumption running 10 cams. I don't know why I procrastinated so damn long to do it but I am a happy camper again. Set Win10 to never install updates and drivers. Thank you @techfun and everyone else in this thread

Very very wierd. I really don't get it.

Last week lots of troubleshooting and checking , every option was showing or a huge CPU or an insane amount of RAM after several hours.
Before the weekend I send another email to Ken telling him my findings , asking for more troubleshooting tips.

Since than , no issues, all is stable with driver 4664 and the latest blue iris version. Nothing has changed. I am flabergasted.

Although , There is one thing I did this weekend and I would suspect that solved it , but it absolutely doesn;t make sense.
My older I5 ( previous Blue iris machine) blew up ( PSU sparked and let go of a lot of smoke) and I needed to check of it was only the PSU and if the rest was still working. I dismanteled my new I7, to insert the I5 mainbord in the computer case to check. Afterwards I put in the I7 again. That's it. No changes in setup or anything , even hardware I connected the same. What could have possible changed that BI is running stable now?
Wierd wierd wierd.

Having 88%+ memory usage in a dedicated Zotac i7-4770T 8.00GB RAM 500GB HD miniPC Win7-64bit running latest BI v4.6.5.3 when window is maximized. When minimized goes down to 13% which is what it had been running forever. I was running v4.4 which I had not updated for a long time until Push Notifications stopped happening 2 weeks ago, then updated to v4.6.5.2 which started having this memory issue. Updated today & still the same problem :(

I have integrated Intel 4600 HD Graphics Video with driver version 10.18.10.3308 which I have never updated since doing a fresh install about 2 years ago.

My BI support has run out. I have checked "limit recording unless required" box for all my ip cameras.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

I'm running win10 but followed techfuns direction and with those two combos of driver and bi version, I'm sitting back at 8%. Of course my issue was automatic updates but for you may be worth giving it a shot with 4664
