Back in November I posted about Desktop Window Manager (dwm.exe) using excessive memory. Task manager would show it between 30-60mb for
hours, but eventually it would start climbing by itself. The rate of
climb would grow increasingly greater. Often within a day, the memory
use of this process would be over 1 gigabyte and system response was S---L---O---W!
I received some suggestions on this, and found some others with web
searches. None have actually stopped this from occurring.
At a guess, this suggests that some browser is asking DWM for
memory
Here is another example. This is early Windows 10,
and it looks like it might be specific applications
that bother DWM.

I think you are probably correct. This morning memory usage was at
37.2mb. I opened Firefox, went to four websites and also to the
settings page. After closing Firefox, memory was up to 173mb and
steadily climbing even though Firefox was no longer running.
