Windows 10: high ram usage

most of the time i have ram usage like 40-60, but all of the processes are using like 400 mb and i have 4gb ram.

High Ram usage

This is not necessarily a problem. Any RAM that is unused is wasted RAM. Any data or programs loaded into RAM will tend to stay there to be available if required again. This RAM can be reused if needed.

A problem only occurs if you run out of RAM, and 8GB is plenty for home use.

 

High Ram usage

Seems like a common problem... I did look on all of the other threads, but did not manage to fix my problem.

I did a clean install of windows 10 pro and saw that on idle my computer uses about 30% RAM... I have an 8 GB of RAM... and faced this issue before( that is why I performed the clean install in first place). I tried googling it for hours, did not find any
solution to my problem.

thank you.

 

Don't expect that the sum of the memory usage column will equal total usage. This will never happen and it was never intended that it would. The screenshot shows only your own but with none of the system processes. The numbers don't show all of a process's memory usage. There are also some very significant users of memory that are not processes, not all of which are shown in Task Manager.

Considering what is running the usage shown does not seem unreasonable on a 64 bit OS with 4 GB RAM.

Edit: Also be aware that the usage shown is by no means a fixed quantity. Memory management in any modern OS is highly dynamic. Memory usage at present may seem high but that is only because there is currently no better use for the memory. The memory manager will always try to find some use for as much memory as possible, even if it is only of trivial value. Free memory is wasted memory. But if a large application is started the usage of current processes will be trimmed back if necessary to meet the demand.

 

but when i run games that uses 1gb or more ram my ram usage becomes 90-96 and the computer starts lagging.

 

RAM is pretty cheap right now.

 

so? this has nothing to do with my problem.

 

It has everything to do with your problem. It appears your RAM usage is pretty normal, that your system is not behaving unusually. (Unless you are missing out important info)

Therefore, a good solution to a lack of available RAM is to buy some more. *Smile

 

no the problem is my ram usage is 90-95 while only using 2 gb of my ram

 

Try shutting down Google Chrome's background processes.

 

chrome is only using 300 mb

 

On your last screenshots you are using approx. 50% available RAM on your system (including approx. 20% for Chrome), plus a further 40% for your game. Total 90%

Chrome is using lots as you have lots of tabs/windows running

Not according to your screenshots. Off the top of my head, I'd say you have about 20% of RAM being used by chrome

 

As others have advised, by more Ram.
I've only got 4GB of Ram and I can replicate your screenshot easily, start a game, open up a few instances of Chrome and Firefox and it starts to become unusable.





Reboot and start the game straight away, voila! not much headroom Ramwise.

 

The Intel graphics uses system RAM, there is no dedicated video RAM.

 

so if i buy new gpu and ram does intel graphics stop using my ram?
