  1. Memory usage at take manager is high, making my computer slow and can’t open some programs


    After I reinstalled Windows 10 Home on my laptop, my memory usage is getting messed up. Before I reinstalled it, the memory usage was so low that I can open up a lot of programs, but after the reinstallation because of system failures, my memory usage whenever I open up my task manager without any other programs open is 33% default, its not going down. This got me annoyed because I was playtesting some apps and some of the programs goes crash and google chrome said there’s not much memory to use. Is there any good way to fix this and reduce my memory usage? :

    :)

    Memory usage is excessively high while no programs are open


    Could you make screenshots of the memory usages in 2 ways:
    • task manager, processes, filtered on 'memory' (click on the tab to filter)
    • task manager, performance, memory
    and post them

    What we see now from your screenshot doesn't provide an answer what is taking the amount of memory, because you didn't filter any usage.
