Thanks, Matan. It might be helpful to know if you can reproduce if you
turn previews off. Even if you don't use them much, I still wonder if
they could be causing problems.

Hello Scott, I've managed to reproduce this, it has no relation to the
previews as i tested it with and without them (in the preferences i've
disabled them for the comparison), what causes the memory leak seems
to be the background changing (at least on my windows 11), the
background is set to cycle photos from my gallery, and every time a
background image changes LyX freeze, adds more RAM usage and then
returns to working.
I'm adding a recording of my screen

when that happens.
Hope this help,
Matan
This is exactly what was happening in my case. I was using a theme where
the OS (Windows 10) background picture and colors change automatically
every 3 hrs. Initially, I could not figure out that the freeze+memory
leak is caused by the MS Windows background and color changes. Then,
just by chance, I was able reproduce the leak, when I change the MS
Windows theme color manually. I think you can also re-generate it
easily: Open LyX. Go to Windows settings. Go to Themes. Change the color
of the theme. Observe LyX and memory usage from Task Manager.--
