Delivery Optimisation Memory Issue

I had recently run into an issue where one of my Windows 11 boxes would become unresponsive over RDP. Upon rebooting I'd look in Event Viewer and find a lot of Event ID 2004 (Windows successfully diagnosed a low virtual memory condition) with `svchost.exe` being the top process consuming memory, sometimes up to 20GB. This is also reflected when I view the VM in Proxmox and you can see the gradual memory increase.

Today, I decided to plot it logging memory usage against each PID & ServiceName.

It looks like `DoSvc` (Delivery Optimisation) might have a memory leak. I'll be turning it off today to test, but thought I'd make others aware as I've only noticed this behaviour in the last month and do not imagine I am the only one.
