Subject: Complaint Regarding Excessive RAM Usage on Idle Laptop





I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a concerning issue I have been facing with my Samsung book 2 . The problem pertains to the excessive RAM usage that I have observed even when my laptop is in an idle state.



As a customer of your esteemed brand, I have always valued the performance and reliability of your products. However, in recent weeks, I have noticed a significant concern regarding the RAM utilization on my laptop. Despite not running any resource-intensive applications, the Task Manager consistently shows that approximately 60% of the available RAM is being utilized while the system is idle.



I have taken several troubleshooting measures to identify the cause of this issue. I have checked for unnecessary background processes and confirmed that no memory-intensive applications are running. Additionally, I have updated all the software, including the operating system and device drivers, to the latest versions available. However, these efforts have not yielded any improvement in the RAM usage on my laptop.



This excessive RAM usage during idle periods is highly inconvenient as it hampers the overall performance and responsiveness of the system. It not only limits my ability to multitask efficiently but also raises concerns about the longevity and reliability of the laptop's components. I am confident that this issue is not a result of my usage patterns or the installed software but rather a hardware or firmware-related problem.



I kindly request your immediate attention to this matter and urge you to provide a resolution as soon as possible. I believe that, as a reputable laptop manufacturer, you value customer satisfaction and are committed to delivering high-quality products.



To facilitate the resolution process, I am providing the following details of my laptop:



- Laptop Model: samsung book 2

- Operating System: Windows 11

- RAM Capacity: 8 gb

- RAM Utilization at Idle: Approximately 60%



I kindly request the following actions be taken:



1. Investigate the cause of the excessive RAM usage on my laptop while it is in an idle state.

2. Provide a comprehensive solution to address the issue, whether it involves software optimization, firmware update, or any other necessary measures.

3. Ensure that the proposed solution is thoroughly tested and verified to prevent any recurrence of the problem.

I trust that you will take this matter seriously and prioritize its resolution. I have attached the relevant screenshots and diagnostic reports from my laptop's Task Manager for your reference.



If necessary, I am prepared to provide additional information or engage in further discussions to resolve this issue promptly. I sincerely hope that we can resolve this matter amicably and restore my confidence in your brand.



Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt response and a satisfactory resolution.



Yours sincerely,

 

60% Memory Usage AT IDLE

I have around 60% RAM usage AT IDLE. No apps open. 12 GBs of ram. That's 7.2 GBs of RAM used to do nothing but start the pc up and idle at the desktop. how is this possible? I don't even have any apps open. Some big contributors is "Search" (I'm norwegian
so in the picture it says "Søk"), Antimalvare Service Executable (Windows Defender, which I have disabled but still is active!), and "System" (ntoskrnl.exe which I don't how to disable [it used to use half a gigabyte before but now it only uses 60 megabytes]).

In the picture google chrome is open but it is only around 3% of ram. Closing it and force exiting google chrome from Task Manager makes my RAM usage idle at 57%

Picture:





This leaves me with 4 and a half GBs of ram. Fallout 4 uses around 4 gbs of ram and just crashed on me after posting this. I can't even use my computer for gaming. I need this fixed or else my $900 I spent on this computer was a waste.
