    80-90% Ram usage on startup/idle


    My ram usage used to be from 30-40% on startup and idle all the way to the 80-90% range almost out of nowhere. I have 8 GB of ram.
    No programs on Task Manager show any high ram usage and this is seriously making me consider just nuking the whole OS and starting clean if I cannot get this resolved.
    One solution I have already tried was to disable some useless programs on startup and it has done positively nothing, the issue still persists.

    High ram usage on Windows 10 upto 90%

    Recently My PC has been experiencing a very high amount of Ram usage (up to 90%). It always be 85%-90% use of ram when the pc is kept idle and no other application is running. I have a 4GB Ram and only about 300 MB
    Ram is left. As when I turn on my pc it takes about 6 to 8 minutes to startup. And when I run any application the pc hangs and I cannot do anything. Please help me out from this situation.

    W10 background and other processes causing HD 100% and CPU 80-90% usage when PC or laptop go idle

    When my pc or laptop go to idle W10 processes cause HD 100% usage and CPU 80-90% usage. I have looked in task scheduler and some tasks have stopped unexpectedly, maybe because I move the mouse. Any ideas what I should do?

    80-90% Ram usage on startup/idle

    Extremely high idle memory usage

    Here is your first step:

    You wrote: "... my pc idling at 80 - 90% memory ..."

    1- Open Task Manager to the Processes tab and look at the Memory column.

    2- What process(es) are using so much of your memory?
