Windows 10: 45%+ RAM Usage while idle with 16gb, no traces in Task Manager

I've had this problem for a while. The only program that is consuming my ram is Chrome with only 800mb to 1gb, but it seems 7gb are in use all the time. I've run Malwarebytes and nothing malicious is happening in the background but It is possible it is some kind of memory leak.

Task Manager main tab: https://paste.pics/b3ed93554b6e2eb74e3f7cc2f0883784

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Task Manager RAM Usage

My computer is running 64 bit Windows 10 with 6 GB of RAM.

I have been monitoring my memory usage via Task Manager and occasionally download tasklist via the cmd line.

What has been bothering me is that my RAM usage at reboot starts at 34%, and left alone, increases to ~75-80% without running any programs.
(I do have start up programs including McAfee, Dropbox, Seagate console, gadgets, etc.)

When I analyze the tasklist download file via Excel, the total RAM memory usage is approximately 3.1 GB at 79%.
Doing the math, this means there is only 4 GB in use?

I have 2 questions:

1. Does Task Manager list all the RAM usage or is there some background usage that is not shown.?

2. Is there any other way to monitor RAM leakage?

 

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?

 

Unknown Constant RAM Usage

Hi,

To explore more on RAM usage by processes and see in-depth I advise you to open the Resource monitor, please follow the below steps.

Step 1 :

Open Task Manager

Step 2:

Click on Performance

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.
