Windows 10: High consumption of RAM for Windows 11 and 10

welcome Since the beginning of my use of Windows 11 and 10 I noticed that these systems consume a lot of RAM, what is the reason for that? Unlike Windows Seven and XP The large number of services that are not useful to the user, and this in itself consumes a lot of RAM and processor resources, which can be used in other programs. For example, I have a laptop with 16 GB of RAM, and Windows alone consumes 8 GB of RAM. Why?

Higher RAM consumption

mr.rifas ahamed:
I am using ASUS Pro P2540UV configured with Corei5, 8GB, 1TB HDD and Nvidia 920MX for last 2 months. Windows 10 Pro had been installed with this. After working for a while with various application, amount of RAM consumption does not reduce to initial level (means that scenario which there were no running application). Previous usage of RAM level transfers to next turn on of PC. RAM usage aggregates while shutdown and turn on (system usage value is successively turning to high). When performing restart, RAM usage turns to normal level (approximately 20%)

Higher RAM consumption

That is normal behaviour as Windows 10 uses compressed memory (effectively a fancy disk cache) to hold information rather than reading/writing to much slower hard drives. If that memory is ever needed, it gets written to disk so memory can be used.

 

Windows 11 high RAM consumption on idle computer

Hello,
on my new Dell laptop I have a great RAM consumption even when the computer is idle, nothing is running in the background.
This is a screenshot of task manager after restarting the system:




I ran the Windows memory diagnostics tool, nothing was found, everything is up-to-date (even the drivers etc.).
I tried tips from other threads, nothing worked,

The computer:
Dell Vostro 5620
16,0 GB RAM
12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1260P 2.10 GHz processor

With basic stuff running (slack, firefox, spotify) i get as high as 55 % RAM usage.

The computer is loud, you can hear it doing stuff all the time...

Thanks for the tips!
