when i deactivate plugin, bitwigpluginhost64.exe is still shown in windows task manager.
and i feel like it should be gone to save memory.

is this right?
someone know about computer please let me know what this means.

That's normal.. It's always been there before the Beta. Pluginhost64.exe, I think, is Bitwig host which manages plugins, internal or vst's.
Thomas can chime in anytime.

hmm i just assumed deactivated plugin(bitwigpluginhost64.exe) should be gone to save memory.
maybe it is not saving memory? i'm not computer expert so i don't know what i'm talking about

It's a CPU processing saving feature rather than a memory saving feature. Even when a device is deactive you can still see it and you can even change settings, it just doesn't get processed by the CPU. Looking at the running processors image, it looks like you will have more problems with your browser than any plugin
