Windows 10: Computer 28 gb of ram usage.

This happen when I installed windows 10. I never had in windows 8.1 ram usage of 28. Now with windows 10 after booting up computer I always have problems with RAM.

In windows 8.1 my computer maximum used 16gb of ram when I was playing 2 games.
In windows 10 - after boot, my computer within 4 minutes starts using 4 gb of ram. After 30 minutes he starts using 28 gb of ram out of 32. After cleaning msconfig, disabling all startup programs it still uses 28 gb of ram after using computer within 5-20 minutes. No programs are starting, after browsing with Microsoft edge, computer uses 28 gb of ram. Doesn't matter what I do it uses a lot of RAM. Even if computer not in use, it shows that he uses a lot of RAM.

Can't figure out what to do. I did clean windows 10 installation into my SSD. Still same usage. All drivers are UP to date. Task manager doesn't show who uses that kind of RAM.

How to solve this mystery? Should I downgrade to windows 8.1 or windows 7? *Sad

:)

 

Startup Program called "usb" that wont deactivate.



This makes no sense to me. I am also unable to disable it and have had large fluctuations in ram usage from 17% to 30% with just the operating system running and no installs or scans running. Recently been at 28% after every start though. I have 8 GB
of ram and I know the system should not be using that much ram.

 

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?

 

I had problems with ram too and this solved, open cmd with administrator rights and type: sfc /scannow

 

Windows 10 is leveraging the memory better than 7 or 8.1. It greatly reduces disk activity. Memory is there to use, so it uses it. That's what lots of memory is for; else why have it?

 

That sounds off. Yes Windows 10 will leverage RAM but I have 6 GB of ram in my work computer and it uses only 3.7GB of that. And performance is actually really good. Maybe find and run process explorer and see where you usage is coming from.

My HTPC computer is using 3.4GB of 16GB of RAM (Just looked after I wrote my above comment). Any old software that needs to be updated causing high memory usage?

Still Recommend Process Explorer:

Sure but why he makes my computer lagg then?

Didn't worked *Sad After restarting same thing.

 

Then where are you getting the information on your RAM usage? Are you saying Task Manager shows no processes using any RAM on the 2nd tab? If so, you have a pretty big problem.

You could have lag due to other factors besides RAM usage.

 

Task managers shows no processes. I'll try Process Explorer and unpload a picture.
Next thing, yes lag is same factor with RAM. When ram usage is low its not lagging, when RAM usage starts increasing and stays within 28 gb of ram computer mouse starts freezing every 2 seconds for 1 milisecond.

 

Post a screenshot of Resource Monitor open on the RAM tab.

 

We really need to see a screenshot of Task Manager - Performance tab showing memory information. This is usually the best place to start with memory problems. In many cases such problems are not caused by a process at all.

 

Is there not a More Details arrowhead to click at the lower left?

 

Well I don't know what happen, but now I can't reach same RAM usage after restarting computer and got new updates for windows 10. I think it's fixed. However I'll inform if something strange will appear again. I tried push limit with 2 games, and it don't reach same amount of ram usage. From now I'll keep watching my task manager if any huge ram usage would appear.

Thank you guys for help.
I'll Mark this as Solved.
