BUG: High memory usage #2940

supercam19 · 2024-08-27T23:32:19Z

Checks

I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
I am using the latest version of Flow Launcher.

Problem Description

I just installed Flow Launcher onto my laptop running Windows 11, and it is using around 600MB of memory, whereas on my desktop (Windows 10) it only uses about 20MB. What could be the cause of this high memory usage?

To Reproduce

Install Flow Launcher v1.19.0
Observe high memory usage

Screenshots

No response

Flow Launcher Version

1.19.0

Windows Build Number

10.0.22631.3880

Is the one installed on your Win 10 also v1.19.0?

Memory usage tends to be high during usage when searching for files and browsing the plugin store, but tends to drop down after a while on idle. Does the memory usage drop on win 11?

600mb is still quite unusually excessive, were you searching for files that return a large amount of results? Does it happen again after a restart of flow?

supercam19 · 2024-08-28T02:33:38Z

My Windows 10 machine was running v1.18.0, so I updated it but am still getting normal memory usage amounts.

After a bit of testing on the Windows 11 machine, I found that Flow Launcher would use about 350MB when I started it. Opening the settings would make it rise to ~600mb and scrolling through the plugin store to ~1gb. Even after idling for a while, the memory usage wouldn't drop.

This persists after restarting Flow and the laptop.

xsidexpt · 2024-10-04T15:04:15Z

Just o add a little to this issue, I have seen very high ram usage that gets cleared when I restart the app.
Freshly open it seats at around 150mb which is fine, but I have seen 1.5Gb for no apparent reason.
This of course is not ideal, even in systems like mine with enough ram for this to mostly under the radar.
I am using Windows 11 and the latest available version of flow launcher 1.19.2

xsidexpt · 2024-10-15T15:28:03Z

I have been able to pinpoint my high ram usage to copying images whilst having Clipboard+ or ClipboardR plugins

jjw24 · 2024-11-01T10:55:40Z

@supercam19 are you also using the Clipboard+ or ClipboardR and getting high memory on copying images?

xsidexpt · 2024-11-01T13:22:28Z

I was Yes! I reported the issue to the Clipboard + dev, and it is currently patched in the release version.
You still should expect an increase of ram when you have an image in your clipboard, but nowhere near as bad as it was before.

PauloTHdz · 2024-11-29T15:36:28Z

I'm having the same issue; Flow-Launcher is using around 700 MB of memory. I'm using a HP laptop with Windows 11. I hope someone could help us solve this problem.

supercam19 · 2024-11-29T22:02:34Z

@jjw24 Not using Clipboard+ or ClipboardR. Still observing this high memory usage on v1.19.4

4-nonymus · 2024-11-30T18:51:04Z

Yea I don't have the Clipboard+ or ClipboardR plugins and I have around half a gb of memory on V1.19.4 which is better than before i updated but it still too much imo

jjw24 · 2024-12-01T01:15:19Z

Hi @PauloTHdz , @supercam19, @4-nonymus:

do you have any additional plugins installed and what are they
can you try flow without any additional plugins, with and without going to the plugin store and see if you still get excessive of 300mbs of memory

As a benchmark, I would consider 130-160mbs of usage (without visting the plugin store) as normal, after going to settings -> plugin store would expect to rise to 200-250mbs, and drop back down after being idle for a while.

supercam19 · 2024-12-01T23:51:02Z

@jjw24 I'm using just the default plugins but disabling them makes no difference, even after restarting flow launcher with them disabled.

4-nonymus · 2024-12-04T05:21:24Z

@jjw24 I just have a most of the default plugins (Calculator, Plugins Manager, Programs, URL, Web Searches, Window Settings, Shell, System Commands) and I have 400MB of RAM.

Out of curiosity I disabled all plugins (removing ALL functionality) and got around 100MB

sjroesink · 2024-12-04T07:45:25Z

I'm using Windows 11 and the usage always stays above 1000MB; it doesn't matter if I disable plugins or not.

Jack251970 · 2025-02-10T06:11:48Z

@PauloTHdz , @supercam19 , @4-nonymus , @sjroesink Hello, I suspect this might be related to the image cache. Could you please share the log entry matching this specific line format? E.g. 13:55:27.4286+08:00 - INFO - ImageLoader.Initialize - Number of preload images is <150>, Images Number: 150, Unique Items 88

This will help confirm the behavior. Thank you!

The58thGuy · 2025-03-12T05:55:35Z

Having same issue, tried fresh installation, takes up around 800MB of RAM, with default settings. Disabling all plugins, which removes all functionality, RAM goes down to 600MB. At first I thought it had to do with usage of "everything", but it has no effect on the RAM usage too.

Jack251970 · 2025-03-12T06:33:25Z

After reinstalling the Windows system, memory usage returns to normal levels.

The58thGuy · 2025-03-12T11:51:27Z

After reinstalling the Windows system, memory usage returns to normal levels.

Yeah instead of reinstalling, I just updated my windows system, and got rid of any temporary files too, after 2 restarts, the RAM usage is back to 78MB, but not sure if it is a long term solution.
Few things I noticed though, which might be helpful.

RAM usage starts from 600MB and goes upto 880MB each time I use Flow Launcher, doesn't matter what I type in, once it goes upto 880MB, it doesn't come back down.
Reinstalling with winget and executable file didn't do anything. Currently where my RAM usage is back to 78MB, I downloaded from chocolately package manager, but I doubt that is a criteria. but eh.
I accidently had the settings "hide on startup" and "start flow launcher on system startup" both on. Turning the latter off, did improve my ram usage quite a bit, went back down 500MB from around 700MB. Don't know how.
Also previously when I was getting high RAM usage, my Python Path was filled in in the general setting. I actually don't know what that does, but it did something.
Then finally, updating my windows system and restarting a couple of times, and getting rid of temporary files finally fixed it.

Currently with normal usage, and no extra plugins, I am getting 78MB of RAM usage, with settings open, 138MB.

Hopefully this might help.
