    Lowest Possible RAM Usage?


    What are some Windows services/applications/default startups I can disable to lower RAM usage?

    Right now on a new(ish) installation of Windows 10 Pro it's at around 2GB (out of 4), I'd like it to be 1.5GB or otherwise as low as possible. No non-essential third party apps are running in the background.

    I heard disabling the Superfetch service can lower RAM usage by a large amount... but other than that...

    :)

    Here's my memory usage:

    this is without tinkering anything. So as you can see Windows is pretty good at memory management. I would not go round messing with services if not your sure what they do as you could break things. Some services give multiple functions to Windows.

    Just noticed some interesting differences between what I presume is 10586 and Insider 14393.

    Note addition of "(compressed)".

    The other thing is it shows the speed as 800 MHz like CPU-Z does ie you have to double it as DDR. I was worried at first but CPU-Z shows it as 800 MHz as well.
