Created attachment 177137 [details] Here is the Processes page showing plasma shells memory use *** If you're not sure this is actually a bug, instead post about it at https://discuss.kde.org If you're reporting a crash, attach a backtrace with debug symbols; see https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports Please remove this comment after reading and before submitting - thanks! *** SUMMARY Basically on start up plasma shell gradually eats memory until the system runs out, then takes all swap then the system siezes STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Boot machine 2. Watch plasma shell take all memory/swap OBSERVED RESULT Entire system is frozen and unresponsive EXPECTED RESULT plasmashell uses less than 1gb of memory SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 41 KDE Plasma KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.9.0 Qt Version: 6.8.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Also when the system memory is almost out, the power buttons in the menu, what would be called the start menu in windows, wont work. I need to use the terminal to power the machine off before it freezes. If not then i must hold the power button to power down
I am very sorry I was submitting this on my machine that keeps freezing every 10ish minutes so I forgot to remove the beginning comment

Do you have any custom widgets (applets) installed? If so, please remove them and check if you still have a memory leak.
I do not have any custom widgets or applets installed that I know of, I do not even think I have any extra widgets in use outside of what comes stock with Fedora
Does it happen in a new clean user account on the same machine?
