I fixed this... somehow. It's been running for 12 hours now with stable memory.
Things I've done since my post:
- Reinstalled Launch box (again)
- Reinstalled Windows (again)
- Reinstalled .net 4.7 and Direct X
- Updated video card drivers.
I think it was either the .net, DirectX or driver reinstall. I didn't see results until after I did those.

Hello! I'm new to Launchbox, and am so far enjoying it a lot. I have one problem though, and it's a memory leak that slowly occurs while attract mode is running. I've been doing a lot of testing and troubleshooting and just cannot nail the cause.
First, my machine specs:
- Intel i3-2100 3.1GHz
- 8 Gb RAM
- Geforce GT 710
- Seagate Barracuda 250gb HDD
- Windows 10
- Launchbox 7.12 Beta 1
What I've tried:
- Reinstalling Launchbox
- Uninstalling all codecs, reinstalling w/ K-Lite Community Codec
- Upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10
- Changing default video player from VLC to WMP
- Installing an older version of Launchbox (I think it was 7.08)
- Updating all drivers
The memory leak is relatively slow, but it will crash out over night. BigBox steadily increases from ~900 mb to 6-7 gb before it crashes. As of typing this, it's up to around 4 gb usage in about 3 hours of run time. I've noticed if I slow down how often attract mode changes games, it slows down how much it leaks. If I turn off videos, either the leak stops or it slows down so much I don't notice it within a day's time.
I'm out of ideas, if y'all have any I'd love to hear them. This isn't a deal breaker, but attract mode is so, well, attractive. I would love to keep using it. Thanks for your time on this!

My only suggestion would be to reinstall your video drivers, DirectX & .net. I had them all up to date, but I went through and reinstalled them and the bug went away.
Other possibly effective things are my end are running ver 7.8 Launchbox & using WMP for video playback, though I was doing this before to no effect.
