Windows 10: Memory usage 99% during idle and continues after reboot.

A while ago, after upgrading to Win10, my memory usage jumped to 99% percent while watching a movie via VLC player. I couldn't find anything in the task manager that seemed to use up all 16 gb of my memory, the new layout of task manager confused me a bit, so I simply rebooted. Fixed the problem.

Today The same thing happened to me again, except this time the memory usage continues AFTER a reboot, and then another reboot. My desktop computer seems completely possessed by whatever is using up my memory. I consider myself to be a very advanced user, although not a professional, but I can't figure out how to nail down this culprit via the task manager. Nothing seems to be using up a lot of memory, the total of all the apps isn't close enough, yet it does identify my memory usage at 99%. There were no unusual apps running in the background, just VLC running an HD 1080p movie, which I have done many times on that computer.

I can imagine this will happen again if I don't find the issue. Any advice on where to start troubleshooting to find a memory hog that only happens once in a great while? Does it have anything to do with windows updating itself secretly and automatically now?

I need some help!

High System & Compressed Memory Usage

WPR Files

After waking up from hibernate my PC will occasionally sky rocket up to 99% Memory usage, and according to task manager the culprit is my System & Compressed Memory, unfortunately I was unable to replicate the problem but a reboot typically stops the issue.
Any tips for remedying the issue?

 

Post a screenshot of Task manager - Performance tab showing memory information when the problem occurs

 

Right now I am performing a boot time scan with Avast Pro anti virus. If my computer will let me take a screenshot, save it, open firefox, post it on here without taking 2-3 hours to process it I would seriously consider it. We'll see after the scan I guess.

 

And do make note that 1 process, identified as System Idle Process, should normally be the largest percentage, over 90% if nothing is running.

 

My boot scan had nothing special to report and now my memory usage is normal. I know this will creep up on me again. This probably won't show anything in the error logs... right? Let me post what I found in event viewer.
