    How am I using 50% of 8gb RAM while idle?


    Here is a spreadsheet of my processes in Resource Monitor below. Lots of svchost.exe, I don't know if there is anyway to lower the ram usage or number of processes for it. There has to be something I can do other than installing Windows 10. I already uninstalled all the bloat I could find.ImagePIDHard Faults/secCommit KBWorking Set KBShareable KBPrivate KBTiWorker.exe67680423,788377,36819,448357,920MsMpEng.exe35800260,652227,24852,888174,360perfmon.exe117640147,840158,81221,064137,748explorer.exe65280109,504125,696100,62025,076SearchHost.exe73960198,132109,268108,980288Registry12007,4

    Idle ram usage at around 8GB!

    ive seen similair threads, and have tweaked the registry values in similair youtube videos.

    just from a normal startup I peak at around 60% used ram out 16 gb installed ( 10ish gb).

    most of the ram is being used by system prcesses mostly reading anywhere from.1-.2 % for each process. I am very confused what is causing this and would like to know if anyone else has seen an issue like this?

    after registry tweaks dont aolve, is my next step to reinstall windows? Is adding more ram viable instead? Thanks for taking the time everyone

    TLDR: machine idles at 8gb ram usage before and after registry tweaks, whats is my next step in diagnosing the cause?

    RAM usage 50±% on idle.

    without Firefox its on 43% usage, which still looks alot for me considering it to be on idle.

    BitDefender was updating.

    I actually have 8gb of ram, not 4gb.
