Windows 10: How do I fix a high memory/ram issue windows 11

Hi there! I have a fairly new computer who within the past 3 days has had significant difficulty running due to a high memory output. Nothing new was downloaded. I installed a GeForce driver but nothing improved. I have checked for viruses and there seem to be none. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

High Memory/Ram Issue Windows 10

The Windows updates I'm referring to are from a couple of weeks ago, and my memory/ram is still spiking to over 70%. I've tried several ways to fix the issue through tutorials. It simply shouldn't be this high, especially when the computer is idel. In Task Maneger the memory/ram is mostly being used by Desktop Windows Manager.

Available Physical Memory Issue (Windows 11)

Hi Benjamin. I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, here to help you.

Confirm that in the Resource Monitor on Memory tab, what is the breakdown there?

1) Try these fixes for high RAM usage in Windows 11:

2) There is a known Memory leak bug that is fixed here:

3) Type Resource Monitor in Search, run it as Administrator, select Memory tab to see how RAM is apportioned.

4) Test the RAM overnight to stress it with the best bootable test memtest86, following this guide to test both sticks and slots:

Run Crucial System Scanner to check the RAM is properly spec'd and configured, what upgrade options exist for first quality RAM: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&...

If the RAM maxes out while the CPU stays much lower I would add RAM to resolve this. You want your RAM used, but you need enough RAM to accommodate that.

Feel free to ask back any questions. If you'll report back results for each step, including in each link, it can help determine what else we need to try. I will stick with you until it is fixed.
