    RAM Usage Concerns


    So I have a 1-year old windows instalation on my laptop (a very problematic one I might add). I recently have been noticing some issues with my RAM usage, thinking that it is way too high for what it was supposed to be.

    My laptop has a 8Gb stick, and my Windows, while idle, uses more than half my RAM, 4,5Gb total.

    RAM Usage while idle

    I even made calculations, adding every RAM usage of each process on the Task Manager, like in the image below

    I just need to know if there is anything I can do to lower the usage, or if this is normal, because this my daily driver, and I can't do my tasks fluently.

    Task Manager RAM Usage

    My computer is running 64 bit Windows 10 with 6 GB of RAM.

    I have been monitoring my memory usage via Task Manager and occasionally download tasklist via the cmd line.

    What has been bothering me is that my RAM usage at reboot starts at 34%, and left alone, increases to ~75-80% without running any programs.
    (I do have start up programs including McAfee, Dropbox, Seagate console, gadgets, etc.)

    When I analyze the tasklist download file via Excel, the total RAM memory usage is approximately 3.1 GB at 79%.
    Doing the math, this means there is only 4 GB in use?

    I have 2 questions:

    1. Does Task Manager list all the RAM usage or is there some background usage that is not shown.?

    2. Is there any other way to monitor RAM leakage?
