    Desktop using 23,9/24GB of RAM


    So recently I installed an additional 16GB of RAM in my pc and everything was runnning fine. I upgraded to Windows 10 and installed all the programs I use etc.
    Now my pc was always using around 30% of the ram, however it soon became 60% and now it is using 99% from startup.

    Here are some steps I already performed with the results from those steps:

    • I ran a virus scan, with nothing showing up
    • I checked my startup programs, nothing wrong with it in my eyes
    • I ran sfc /scannow which showed up with nothing aswell
    • I ran Kasperky AntiRootKit, nothing showed up
    • I ran Malwarebytes which showed up clean
    • I ran SuperAntiSpyware professional, nothing showed up(except some cookies which are deleted now
    • I ran WPR -cancel in CMD, No trace profiles running


    The programs that start when my PC boots are:

    I hope anyone of you can help me find a solution to this. I know windows10 leverages memory better than windows 7, but it shouldnt be 100% use even when idle.

    Here is a screenshot of my resource monitor:

    Windows 10 shows only 16gb of RAM usuable of 24GB

    I had windows 7 pro running with 24GB of RAM. Since I installed to Windows 10 it shows

    installed RAM 24GB (16GB Available). Why is Windows 10 not using all the RAM.

    I run After Effects CC and Premier Pro CC and that was the reason I upgraded to 24GB over 2years ago.

    Windows 10 shows Installed RAM 24GB (16GB usable)

    I've upgraded from Windows 7 professional to Windows 10 professional. I purchased the PC with Windows 7 Home Premium but later updated to Windows 7 Professional. When I was using Windows 7 Pro the system recognized and used the 24GB RAM I've installed. Since
    upgrading to Windows 10 Pro it shows that only 16GB RAM is usuable of the 24GB installed. I've tried using the msconfig option and it shows maximum memory to be 24GB.

    I need help.

    Desktop using 23,9/24GB of RAM

    So this time I rebooted my pc after all of these steps:

    • I ran a virus scan, with nothing showing up
    • I checked my startup programs, nothing wrong with it in my eyes
    • I ran sfc /scannow which showed up with nothing aswell
    • I ran Kasperky AntiRootKit, nothing showed up
    • I ran Malwarebytes which showed up clean
    • I ran SuperAntiSpyware professional, nothing showed up(except some cookies which are deleted now
    • I ran WPR -cancel in CMD, No trace profiles running
    And one of them fixed is, as I now booted with 1.9GB in use, which climbed to 3.8gb when all programs were started(Chrome, Razer Synaps etc etc)

    Will update if pc keeps up this boot cycle and I will leave my pc on for tonight and post the results tomorrow.

    Disable every program and see if it helps. Look at the picture you posted and almost every program has high start-up impact
