Windows UF using High Memory and processor

I have reviewed similar questions but haven't found a fix to this.
My windows UF is utilizing high memory and processes, causing the servers to become inaccessible. I'm having too many powershell scripts launched, although I have disabled all the PS scripts in the deployed TA_windows . Is there anywhere else in Splunk I need to look for PS Scripts that may be causing this problem?

Hi @afolabia,
I had this problem many times, all the times Splunk Support suggested to upgrade UF version, sometimes also using an UF version higher that the Indexer's version.
The problem was related to the connection with the DC to resolve the address.

Ciao.
