[Windows] Memory leak on .Net 4.x and x86 builds

Windows

-

To reproduce:

1. Download attached project "MemoryUsage.zip" and open in Unity
2. Open "SampleScene" scene
3. Enter Play mode
4. Observe that Memory usage is within 200 MB
5. Exit Play mode
6. Change Scripting Runtime Version to ".NET 3.5 Equivalent" and Scripting Backend to "Mono"
7. Set Target Platform to "Windows" and Architecture to "x86_64"
8. Build And Run
9. Observe that Memory usage is within 200 MB
10. Set Architecture to "x86"
11. Build And Run
12. Observe that Memory usage is within 200 MB
13. Change Scripting Runtime Version to ".NET 4.x Equivalent"
14. Set Architecture to "x86_64"
15. Build And Run
16. Observe that Memory usage is within 200 MB
17. Set Architecture to "x86"
18. Build And Run

Expected result: You will see that Memory usage is still within 200 MB
Actual result: You will see that Memory usage allocates up to 3GB until it produces "out of memory" exceptions

Notes:
- This issue reproduces only on Windows
- If you set Scripting Backend to "IL2CPP" and Architecture to "x86", the build will crash

    Please fix this in 2018 or 2019 as well!

    Is this fix not going to be available in 2019LTS? This is causing massive memory leaks on Hololens 2 apps (ARM).

    Is this going to be back fixed to 2018 or 2019 LTS?

    We've hit this bug too in 2018.4 LTS (our x86 build runs out of memory whereas x64 builds stay at 500MB consistently) - any chance of implementing this fix in past LTS versions?

    Will we have to wait until 2020.1 (release, we don't want to use alfa or beta builds) to get this fixed? Why not backport this to 2019 releases? This is a very serious issue...

    We also have this bug, and it's blocking us on hololens (V1) on version 2018.4.8f1. As we are stick with X86 builds on this plateform, is there any plan to have a patch for this bug on 2018 LTS versions ?

    Also reproducible in Unity 2018.4.8 in UWP il2cpp x86 builds (x64 is fine).

    Please, this is such a critical issue, it's been a year. I'm begging you.

    My apologies, but were you using the Entities/ECS package as well? I removed just ECS package and the memory leak went away.
