How To Avoid And Fix Memory Leaks In Windows 10

You might have encountered issues with computer performance, potentially causing memory leaks. Various software can slow down your computer if it leaks memory (when a program fails to 'release' memory it has used). By default, a closed program should allow other software then to use that same area of memory. If, however, the program is still using the memory having been closed, that is where memory leak problems begin. A memory leak is a Random Access Memory (RAM) loss caused by one or more programs. Therefore, a specific program is using more memory than it should, or it is not releasing it when the program closed, and continues to use the memory. A certain amount of RAM is required for a process to run, and this is perfectly normal, unless the system starts to behave abnormally. Memory leaks are usually only temporary, since restarting the computer empties RAM memory. If, however, the computer remains switched on with various processes running in the background, some processe...

VLC for Windows 10: convert and compress video files

Everyone who watches videos on a PC has at least heard about VLC as it's not only the most popular player available, but also one that offers an impressive amount of features without asking for any money in return. Mostly known for the fact that it can play pretty much every media format out there without requiring additional codecs, VLC can perform quite a few very interesting tricks that not many people know about. For example, it can convert and compress videos.
