Extreme high memory usage after installing 14Tb HDD

It gets hidden unfortunately. There's no simple way to decipher a driver from the task manager, especially when the RAM isn't actually active, just reserved.

It's a web and a half. In the past I've actually formatted the PC rather than investigate a memory leak any further

That has never been a problem, but that doesn't mean it won't be a problem. I'll keep an eye on it, thanks!

Norton recently rolled in a crypto harvester into some of their products which takes up crazy amounts of resources. It's literally nothing more than a miner malware now. I would strongly recommend uninstalling, it doesn't offer any benefits.
