New MacBook 2021 memory leak from display settings and popping sound issue
I just got a new 16'' 2021 MBP with 16GB ram and 1tb ssd. I've been testing it for a week and I noticed a couple of issues, the 1st one is a annoying popping sound issue from time to time while watching youtube, also I noticed in Activity Monitor the 'WindowsServer' process taking up to 20GB of memory just by opening a few youtube tabs and watching them , I've been restarting the machine for days trying to fix the issue. today I opened the Display settings and changed the Presets from "Apple XDR Display (P3-1600 nits)" to "Apple display (P3-500 nits)" and I also changed the refresh rate from "ProMotion" to "60Herts". with this "downgraded" setting the "WindowsServer" process is only taking 290MB. why have apple added this new displays features causing memory leak. this is an expensive machine and shouldn't be worried about such things.
