    A few more thoughts:
    You seem determined to prevent Malwarebytes from using your highly capable GPU.  Using the GPU has many advantages - it has more memory available and compute power for drawing.  That means your regular memory and CPU is not being used for drawing operations.  That improves the overall performance of your computer - both Malwarebytes and other applications.  There is one scenario where you would NOT want to use a GPU and that is when you are solely using battery power.  Because GPUs are powerful, that memory and compute power sucks up battery and creates heat.  Now, unlike a modern game, Malwarebytes will not stressing the GPU, because our drawing operations are relatively simple.  But that is why Windows offers the Graphics Setting option to not use GPU when running on battery.  It will slow down everything else, but will prevent battery drain when you are not plugged in. We do not have the option in Malwarebytes to disable Hardware Acceleration for the reasons @icolcear mentioned earlier.  Also, we do not have the option in Malwarebytes because Windows gives you the same option to not use the GPU.  I described that above.
  2. ChuckOp's post in Malwarebytes is using ALL my RAM (16GB+) was marked as the answer   
    Malwarebytes Service restart should be sufficient.  Bug is made worse due to DEBUG logging being enabled, which causes the excessive logging and memory consumption.  It's a bug that got out and we will fix it and ensure it does not happen again.
