    My computer was bought new in April 2025 . Just has the Microsoft stuff it came with installed. It's a Surface 13.8 laptop that has 16gb of ram. I use it very casually Studying, Office 365, youtube and web browser. As you can see in the screenshot below, there aren't any big processes running except edge. I have edge, Onenote and Outlook opened..thats it.When first got it in April 2025 the ram usage used to be 38% while idle and 58% while doing my usual browsing etc. but now its 60-70% while just sitting on the desktop and 70%-95% when I start doing anythi
