qBittorrent & operating system versions

qBittorrent 4.4.2 64bit
Windows 10 Enterprise 21H2

What is the problem?

When I download a large file, qBittorrent goes non-responding.
When I look at task manager, I see that the RAM usage has dropped.

Steps to reproduce

Download a large file exceeding 2GB on gigabit internet. Wait.

Additional context

Task Manager qbittorrent
