I'm not sure how to check what could be causing a sudden increase in memory usage that has hogged all the resources. My problems with this issue started on Boxing day as well. That obviously may just be pure coincidence and mayb eour problems are totally unrelated, but the screen grab I've just taken shows what's happening for me.
Speedtest.net shows that the internet connection to the computer is fine, but this instance of mfp is not talking to the outside world correctly. The screengrab was taken at 5:15pm, and all the markets in green from the last few hours are just sat there in limbo.
I have other instances of mfp running at the same time and they are running correctly. The problem sometimes happens with one profile that is running, and then the next day will be with another one.
As with Coling, I have run like this for many years, so I'm a bit stumped as to what might have changed at my end.
Very confusing.
