Description

vierlijneropened on Sep 2, 2022Issue body actions

• I have tried with the latest version of Docker Desktop
• I have tried disabling enabled experimental features
• I have uploaded Diagnostics
• Diagnostics ID: 1CA50CD6-DD0E-4459-82A8-A1DB31A295F0/20220902065044

Actual behavior

VMMEM has a very high memory usage (2gb) after docker desktop for windows is starting up. And it don't releasing it.

Expected behavior

A low VMMEM usages.

Information

• Is it reproducible? Yes, install the latest docker v4.12.0 with WSL2.
• Is the problem new? Yes, it's not like Windows 10 vmmem CPU Usage when enabling Kubernetes #3858 or High CPU usage while Docker Desktop is running on Windows #12266 or Windows 10 Docker processes consuming high CPU with no running containers #1772
• Did the problem appear with an update? Yes, so I first delete oracle box and vmware, but this wasn't helping. Then i stopped docker and it stopped. So I removed version V4.11.1 (strange because it was the latest) and download the latest V4.12.0. So on deinstalling it detaled all images and containers, so nothing is running.
• Windows Version: win 10 pro 21H2
• Docker Desktop Version: v4.12.0
• WSL2 or Hyper-V backend? WSL2
• Are you running inside a virtualized Windows e.g. on a cloud server or a VM: No, just on a HP prodesk 400 machine i7-9700 16GB x64

Output of & "C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\com.docker.diagnose.exe" check

When I start this it doesn't appear.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Just install the new version v4.12.0 on a win 10 pro 21H2 with wsl2 enabled and the rest default.
2. Restart PC/ Windows
3. Watch the VMMEM proces on your machine and see the memory usage.

Edit: I installed older versions of docker (untill V4.7.1), but all had the same result. So it's not about the version of docker. It's in the windows update from vmmem (or something else) in combine with docker desktop. I'll hope you can notify Microsoft about this (hope more users have this issue) and Microsoft can fix this.
