    RAM usage is too high


    Firefox seems to use the most memory, but Google Chrome also uses a lot. The laptop has 12 GB of SODIMM 3200 MHz RAM, It has Windows 11. Two tabs in Firefox can take RAM usage up to 70%.Another computer has 12 GB of SODIMM DDR3 1600 MHz RAM, and it has Windows 10, but RAM usage is not that affected when two tabs in Firefox are open along with tabs in Google Chrome, Microsoft Word, or anything else.

    High Ram Usage

    Hi there,

    So this is the problem, From the time I bought this brand new IdeaPad Flex 5 (itlo5) 14" laptop, there has always been high ram usage when I look in task manager. The ram usage has always been around 80%. I have tried to clean install windows (which removes all bloatware from the manufacturer) but there is still high ram usage. My old HP laptop had the same amount of ram as this laptop (4GB) but the speed of the ram was slower. And the ram usage had been lower than this laptop!

    Thanks

    High RAM Usage in Win10

    Thanks alot for your answers:
    @PolarNettles: yes I have a Gigabyte Z170x Gaming-3 Mainboard with Killer E2200 ethernet controller. Are there known issues with this controller?
    @Spectrum: I downloaded the program and got this screen

    is this of some use for you?

    @AddRAM: RAMMap did nothing as I emptied all the lists. At first boot RAM usage is normal, but when I work or play some time it kinda stacks up the RAM. Snip of the resource monitor
