An issue I've not before, machine starts to stutter, checking task manager memory usage is pinned at 99%. Sorting the processes by usage nothing untoward is shown. In the users tab it showed 4 gig for my user, so at least I knew it wasn't a process that belonged to me.
Informative posts that helped get to the bottom of it,
Poolmon allowed me to see which processes where using the memory.
The big numbers in the seventh column point to NDNB. In cmd change the working directory to C:\Windows\System32\drivers and using find,
findstr /s NDNB. Resulting in a lot of garbage text with NDU.sys in the middle.

This service exists in Windows 8 only.

The Windows Network Data Usage Monitoring Driver service is a kernel
mode driver. If the Windows Network Data Usage Monitoring Driver fails
to start, the error is logged. Windows 8 startup proceeds, but a message
box is displayed informing you that the Ndu service has failed to
start.
To Fix Memory Leaks on Non-Paged-Pool:
Changed the registry value instead of using Autoruns:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Ndu
Change the Start value to 4 (for disable).
The only other issues I can see that are related to the memory leak are killer network drivers. Multiple reboots did not fix the issue.
