    Absurdly high ram usage while idle?


    Attached is a screenshot of task manager, sorted by ram usage: https://imgur.com/a/hWc0v2B

    I have 8G of ram at 2666mh. I know that widows natively uses 2-3 GB of ram natively but I'm getting 60+ percent of ram usage while idle. It's certainly slowing the computer down, to a very noticeable degree. Any help is appreciated.

    Absurdly high ram usage while idle?

    High idle ram usage 8gb using 60%

    "ram usage at idle is 60%"

    - Not a fix for your unknown RAM use (Greg's suggestions should help with that), and this only adds up to a bit under 1GB use but...

    A system is not at idle with around eight Chrome browser Windows and tabs open.

    Discord, and two active searches. Not to mention a system hogging 'Anti-malware' program.

    Desktop Window Manager is using more than usual as well.

    - It looks like you have a bit of DELL bloatware running too.

    - What is the RAM use straight after re-booting Windows ?
