Two explorer.exe, One taking all of my RAM's Memory
Hello, Ever since last month on October 2014 I'v noticed that I have 2 Explorer.exe's with one being my desktop (The one with the username, Afrim) and another explorer.exe process that has no username but this explorer.exe process starts off using a minimal amount of my Memory but after a few minutes this process will then use up ALL of my memory reaching at 5,000,000 K and higher. When this uses all my Memory I then open up task manager which takes me a few mins to do and then i end the Process and sometime end the Process Tree. After ending the process there is only one explorer.exe, which is my desktop but then a few mins later the Other explorer.exe with no username returns and takes up ALL of my memory again and again.
I've searched up alot for this issue but seem to find no solution so far what I have tried is going into my MSConfig and set my boot options to Safe mode and have done multiple Full Scans with Malwarebytes and Microsoft Security Essentials and nothing is found. Other then that I have also set the boot options to a Selective Startup and checked off the "Load System Services" box and nothing else I then go into the services Tab and check off Hide All Microsoft Services and then disable all the other non Microsoft services. Still even doing this the second explorer.exe returns and uses all my Memory. Also in my Folder Options > View, the "launch folder windows in a separate process" box is not ticked.
After many researching of this I am completely lost on what to do, I cannot use my PC properly anymore because of this situation and any help is much appreciated thank you for reading this and possible helping me out.:)
