Computers running into what seems to be a memory leak. Hoping to figure out how to decipher it and solve it but want to avoid installing a ton of software

Hello! So this is kind of a new issue that's been cropping up but something I've noticed. After a few hours of having my computer on I've noticed my paged and nonpaged (More so the latter) pools have been having a noticeable spike with little to not activity done (Discord in the background, Bitdefender as my AV, and watching youtube on chrome with Ublock lite on). I really want to figure out what the cause of this spike after roughly an hour of watching JUST Youtube is as I've noticed when playing games and such as well that my memory spikes after a bit as well.

I really don't want to have to install other programs to look for this info (But I will if absolutely needed) but I was really hoping to get to the bottom of how to decipher a memory leak on this part when I don't have the first clue of where to really start doing so. I'm keeping an eye on task manager now but I don't really know what I'm looking for to track this info down personally so I was looking for any advice that could potentially help in this matter.

Hello! So a little bit of a weird situation that just started popping up but I was hoping to get some insight. This problem happened a few months ago but (seemingly) cleared itself up... But the first search I do on an incognito window (I don't actually even know if it's the FIRST one that does it.) tends to give me this page out of nowhere. Normally this isn't something I'd be concerned by but I wanted to see if this was more of a widespread issue from people. The problem clears up (most of the time?) By simply reopening the incognito window to my knowledge but like, I've been using my main browser for youtube.

To explain the process of how this happens. I open up an incognito window and simply in the search bar look up something randomly. (For instance in this case 5etools for D&D related stuff.) I'm hoping to get some insight if this happens to be popping up for others or if this is just something that chrome/google is being weird about out of nowhere for me. Thank you!
