Windows 10: Desktop Window Manager is eating 8GB of RAM

Recent issue with my Dell Inspiron laptop, it gets left on a lot--often overnight with a Discord video call going with my long-distance significant other. Recently, in the mornings it has been running super slowly, so I checked task manager. Yesterday, DWM was eating 4GB of RAM. This morning, it was EIGHT. The laptop is&nb

Window 10 Eats half my RAM

Hi, so I bought a 8gb RAM so I can play MHW because I can't play it on 4gb RAM. So when I installed it windows literally eats half of it just as I opened my pc. and I did do the "Virtual memory" stuff but it still doesn't help it still eats half of my RAM.
please help, why is this happening?

 

Windows shows 8GB RAM installed but 4GB RAM is usable

Hi There,

I've just upgraded my pc from 4GB RAM to 8GB RAM. Windows seems to have detected this upgrade but why does it show as only 4GB RAM available. The following is what I have tried so far with no luck:

• I have tried the msconfig method on ensuring maximum memory is not checked.
• physically removed the new RAM and reinstalled it

Any thoughts/suggestions on how i can resolve this matter?

Thanks

 

Ram on Task manager





1* - You have 2 RAM of 4GB

2* - Task Manager shows you have 8GB

3* - 3.8GB(in use) + 3.8GB(cached) + 0.624MB(Hardware Reserved) + 0.230MB(Pool) = 8GB(approx. more)

Note:

• 1GB = 1024MB
• It seems you have more than 8GB RAM
• You might be using any RAM Boost Software
