Game is using a crazy amount of ram?

Game is using a crazy amount of ram and I can't seem to figure out why. It never happened before this update. Any advice would be great! thanks.

    Issue was fixed . ISC solved the issue. Thanks to everyone who helped. Means a lot. Now I can enjoy the game again. Hopefully DICE gets this sorted so these types of methods don't have to be used. If anyone else has this issue please download ISC and set up via Fr33thy set up for windows 10. Works amazing.

    @Shikix could you post a dxdiag please !
    Also do a cleanboot !
    and test game !

    Cleanboot / Msconfig

    reboot pc by a clean boot:

    Hide all Microsoft services, DISABLE (uncheck) ALL other processes, apps and services !

    Cleanboot is just a one time clean boot ! Next reboot all will be reset and a normal boot will be occure.
    Use msconfig to disable apps permanent each for new reboot.
    DISABLE ALL other processes, apps and services from booting with windows, check instructions below:
    Use the keyboard shortcut “Windows Key + R” and the “Run” window will open.
    In the text box, typ MSCONFIG and press Enter or OK and the MsConfig window will open".
    Select the tab STARTUP , and disable apps/programs by right click at them!
    Those disabled apps will no longer boot with Windows , till ya set them enabled again !

    No malware or virus. Even ran a windows memory diagnostic and nothing was found. I also tried restore point and the issue still happens. The games starts at 11GB then after one game it's up to 20GB.

    @Shikix Its weird your game is using this ammount of memroy , it could be a setting. But if ya cant solve it , maybe this is the best option, read below:

    If there are still issues with game , then it's possible your windows is broken (REINSTALL WINDOWS , DELETE AND ADD NEW PARTITIONS),
    or some bios settings / hardware is incompatible with other hardware and/or settings.
    If nothing else works then do a Repair Install Windows, by installing Media Creation Tool, open tool and choose to Upgrade Now. This reinstalls Windows while keeping files, programs and most settings in place, is the most stable method to advance to the latest version, and solves most problems.

    I just installed ISLC (Intelligent Standby List Cleaner) and it fixed the memory issue. Kinda sucks I have to run it everytime I play the game but now the anti cheat is failing and is ejecting me from the game. This update really screwed up everything on my end.

    @Shikix  i think there is a windows issue/error
    update/repair your windows
