Windows 10: 10+GB memory in use at idle, Windows 11 22H2

10.9 GB memory used as shown in the task manager, yet at the same time, all of the processes currently running only took about 4GB memory. Does this means that the system is using 6GB of mem when idling?

Windows 11 High RAM Usage in Idle (8 GB / 50 %) / Memory Leak

issue is reflected in title it self.

i am using windows 11 since it's release.

facing high memory usage in idle - issue past few days.

Main concern is none of the app is consuming memory but task manager shows it is in use but doesn't shows the process using it.

so it's possibly memory leak.

while in idle it consume half of my 16 GB memory, issue arises when i use some apps, it almost uses 80% of 16GB while using chrome only.

it feels like i have 8 GB memory only. rest 8 is for whatever

After i start/restart my pc, memory usage in idle will gradually increase throughout the day.

in the beginning it's 4 GB memory while in idle.

at the end of the day it'll be using 10 GB of memory in idle.

Yes all the apps are closed nothing heavy running or so.

these are the solutions that i had found here in various answers and that i have tried to fix issue but failed

Windows 11 22H2 on my Windows 11

Hi - my Dell XPS 15 7590 originally came with Windows 10 but I upgraded to Windows 11 without problems. Now running Windows 11 21H2 OS Build 22000.1098

Windows update is not offering me Windows 11 22H2 to download/install.

My Windows Registry does not seem to have any reference to '"DestBuildNum, UpEx, UpExU, and RedReason" keys.

Is there some incompatibility with my system that is stopping Windows Update from offering me 22H2?

I'm also registered for Windows Insider and that does offer me an Insider version of 22H2.

Thanks for any suggestions.
