    Memory usage is excessively high while no programs are open


    Whenever you see more than a few hundred MB of Paged pool memory, it is almost always a driver problem. Often it's a network driver, but sometimes it's something else. Typically it's because you're not using a Windows 10 specific driver (to be clear, Windows 10 has backwards compatibility for older drivers, but often times an older driver was never tested on 10, and thus the bug was never found).
