    Unknown Constant RAM Usage

    Hi,

    To explore more on RAM usage by processes and see in-depth I advise you to open the Resource monitor, please follow the below steps.

    Step 1 :

    Open Task Manager

    Step 2:

    Click on Performance

    Step 3:

    At the bottom click on Open Resource Monitor

    Step 4:

    Under Resource Monitor windows click on Memory

    Step 5:

    Click on Working Set to list the top process utilizing the more RAM and then evaluate RAM usage.

    Regards

    High RAM usage since Upgrading to W10

    I recently upgraded to Windows 10 and after fixing an audio problem I was happy that there was nothing else going on, that is until I opened my task manager and realized that my computer was using insane amounts of RAM. It started around 60%-65% total RAM
    usage on startup when I first noticed it, but has now gotten worse and when I started my computer this morning it sat at 84% RAM usage on startup - with having only five web browsers open, no downloads going, the RAM usage sits at 87%. I have 16GB of DDR3
    Kingston RAM.

    The highest process continues to be System and compressed memory, but it doesn't spike above 1GB of RAM usage at any given time. I believe its a strong culprit, but there are so many processes running related to Windows that I can't cut down on the number
    of processes running at any given time, and this RAM usage is insane.

    I've tried downloading drivers off of the Windows website but all it does is download an installer program that wants me to pay $30/year to download 5 drivers, which is ridiculous. I'm genuinely hoping someone can help me out here.

    Also, I've seen that a lot of people have had CPU problems, but my issue is solely RAM.
