    Another interesting thing is if I use Memory Cleaner and click the "Clear System Cache" button my memory gets recovered but then starts getting taken up again really quickly.

    Sigh... at least try this..

    Reboot and as soon as the machine finishes loading and has settled, open Task Manager and quit WD Smartware and uTorrent.

    Problem Fixed. :) The Problem was Windows Defender. It was set to auto scan when PC was Idle and for some reason this introduced a memory leak or something. Just turning off auto scanning in windows defender Fixed the problem.

    Temporal solution


    I've disabled the Homegroup feature as mentioned here and, so far, has been resolved
