  1. High RAM usage when idling


    Hello,


    One day, I turned on my PC and I tried to play War Thunder. Then I noticed the game started stuttering and having lag spikes. I looked at task manager and noticed I have 100% memory usage. I quit War Thunder and it hasn't changed and is now idling at 90-95%. I have tried turning off as much applications as I could but it didn't change anything. As of writing this now and having only Opera turned on I have 14.7GB out of 16GB RAM used.

    My PC specifications are :

    GPU : RTX 2070

    CPU : Ryzen 5 1600X

    RAM : 16GB Corsair vengeance

    MBU : MSI B450 Tomahawk High RAM usage when idling 55daa9c0-75d3-463b-92b1-9502562bbe6a?upload=true.png

    :)

    High RAM usage when idling

    High idle ram usage 8gb using 60%

    "ram usage at idle is 60%"

    - Not a fix for your unknown RAM use (Greg's suggestions should help with that), and this only adds up to a bit under 1GB use but...

    A system is not at idle with around eight Chrome browser Windows and tabs open.

    Discord, and two active searches. Not to mention a system hogging 'Anti-malware' program.

    Desktop Window Manager is using more than usual as well.

    - It looks like you have a bit of DELL bloatware running too.

    - What is the RAM use straight after re-booting Windows ?
