wpf MediaElement memory leak

I am using a media element to display several kinds of resources (image, gif, video)

The issue is that the media element will consume more memory each time I assign it a new source. The garbage collector is not collecting anything there. I have found several questions about the same topic in forums and on stack overflow but none of them received a proper answer.

So this my wpf code:

private void LoadInformation(FileInfo file)
{
    imageDisplay.Source = new Uri(file.FullName);
}

<MediaElement x:Name="imageDisplay" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" UnloadedBehavior="Close" LoadedBehavior="Manual"
            MediaOpened="Element_MediaOpened" MediaEnded="Element_MediaEnded" ></MediaElement>

this is my code to update in .xaml.xs:

// When the media opens, initialize the "Seek To" slider maximum value
// to the total number of miliseconds in the length of the media clip.
private void Element_MediaOpened(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    imageDisplay.Play();
}

// When the media playback is finished. Stop() the media to seek to media start.
private void Element_MediaEnded(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    imageDisplay.Stop();
    imageDisplay.Source = null;
}

This is according to official microsoft documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/desktop/wpf/graphics-multimedia/how-to-control-a-mediaelement-play-pause-stop-volume-and-speed?view=netframeworkdesktop-4.8

if I execute LoadInformation in a loop, my memory goes up happily, until the application crashes.

If I stop the loop before the app crashes and let it run for a while, gc will not free up the memory

Update 1

Managing the MediaElement Manually does not make any difference: LoadedBehavior = MediaState.Manual;

imageDisplay.Stop();
imageDisplay.Close();
imageDisplay.Source = null;
imageDisplay.Source = new Uri(file.FullName);
imageDisplay.Play();
