As soon as my Macbook Pro (Intel) boots - Java uses 8.52gb of ram before I launch anything. Anyone seen this too or found a fix?

I do have Android Studio installed @alien3dx , but not at boot (at least to the best of my knowledge). I tried SafeBoot and it doesn't show up, so something else on normal boot for sure.

Not sure how to track down what now though..

how long you not restart ? killing `em at activity monitor should be okay.. i do use phpstorm / and android studio which used java. By default this era developer. If ain't use ram , not usefull . So most of them stuck in memory till it hogg it down and compress (macos) .
 
It's there pretty much as fast as I can open Activity monitor jumps form 1 to 4 to 8gb in a few seconds...
 
you may try whatever spindump in activty manager to trace which where the link up.. for me , i don't like a lot of startup even i got 16 gb ram in this intel .

Thanks @alien3dx - didn't know about Spindump - it showed that ElasticSearch (installed using brew) was the issue. I had already previously updated brew, ran doctor etc. So for now I've just uninstalled that and the issue is gone.

Guessing maybe there is a bug with it and MacOS 12.0.1
