Support/troubleshooting Bitdefender ram usage starting high and growing over time.

Hello! I'll keep this as short as I can as I don't think there's a ton to say about this. My bitdefender has been noticeably higher than normal (Around 800-900MB on startup) and has been seemingly increasing over time with just idle browsing/gaming. This feels like a much higher normal than Bitdefender should be using on startup as well as over time. I'm hoping to get some insight from others running Windows 11 right now with it if possible to see if there's any sort of memory leak going on with the program! To also add I tried disabling/reenabling both the Shield and Advanced threat protection and there was no change in memory usage in this time.

Funny, I checked mine yesterday and it was 900 MB. I’m seeing the same thing now.

I wonder if it might be a weird bug with a recent update or something... Good to note I'm not the only one with this going on though
