Windows 10: Barely any apps running. 87% ram used, 87% committed.

8gb ram. 6gb pagefile.

Barely have anything running. Committed and physical ram are at 87% and won't release.

I close all programs, and memory use is still high.
And then it gives me low memory warning and asks me to close firefox.

This never happened in Windows 7 on my old computer.

This win10 came with the computer.

What's happening?
I wouldn't mind high memory usage if it didn't throw low memory warnings. But it does, and I surely don't have anything open that would altogether take up 7GB of ram.

Windows 10 crashes when I try to use the start tab?

Hi Akheel Ahmed P,

After I typed the CMD prompt:

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

sfc /scannnow

I received Error 87

"The online cleanup image /restorehealth option is unknown. For more information, refer to the help

by running DISM. exe/?"

I tried to run this with no effect and received Error 87 again.

I repeated the actions once more and received Error 87 once again.

I then tried to run the powershell commands but was unable to get it to run.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

 

I am wondering why you have such a large pagefile? Did you set this? It is best to allow Windows to manage the pagefile size. See my settings below:

 

What plugins / extensions are installed in Firefox?

 

because GTA V needs it. otherwise I keep getting low memory warnings from Windows.

Also I'd rather not have my pagefile fragmented, so I just give it a large chunk of space. I have plenty of hard drive space, so it doesn't really matter.

 

it's not firefox. I can close firefox and there's still a lot of ram usage.

my firefox addons are
downthemall
youtube video downloader express
epubreader
foxyproxy
greasemonkey
imagezoom
noscript
textlink

plugins:
acrobat
google talk
flash
intel identity protection

 

recent nVidia drivers can be problematic ...

D.

 

I would start to look into a clean boot troubleshooting process to try and find which drivers or processes are causing a memory leak.

Why have you 6 Chrome 32 running,
I don't use it but think you only need 1 of them open
They could be some of your problem

 

I think that's common for Chrome, if I am not mistaken.

 

With Chrome the general rule is one process for each open tab except that multiple tabs on a single website will share a process. In some cases there will be more processes. 6 Chrome processes is not at all unusual. I have seen many more with no issues.

Even a huge pagefile, which is not the case here, will have no significant downside except wasting disk space.
