Windows 10: 33 - 39% RAM usage when on desktop

I have 16gb ram and when I'm on my desktop without any open apps then the RAM usage is around 33%. Is this normal? Around 110 background processes are running. if not how do I reduce this number, as the background apps get opened on boot.

33% Ram Usage While Idle

I've been monitoring my computer's activity lately and this just came to my attention. While my computer is idle, 33% of my computer's ram is in usage. I have 16gb of ram and I'm just curious if this is normal to have 5.2gb of ram being used while idle.
If it is not normal, what can I do to lower the amount of ram used while idle? If it is normal, what is causing this ram usage?

Step 3:

At the bottom click on Open Resource Monitor

Step 4:

Under Resource Monitor windows click on Memory

Step 5:

Click on Working Set to list the top process utilizing the more RAM and then evaluate RAM usage.

Process name "SYSTEM using 33 - 39% CPU

My laptop is at windows 10 version 1607. I just received an update -Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB3176495). Immediately upon restart I noted that process name "SYSTEM" was using 33 - 39% CPU. I uninstalled this update
and my process named SYSTEM settled right down . Has anyone else noted this issue? Any suggestions? This update is once again queued in my updates.
