  1. RAM Usage too high?


    So I use a Lenovo X1 Laptop from 2012 with Windows 10, this old machinery rocks 8GB of RAM.

    However, when i checked in Task Manager, a staggering 3,3 GB of 7,7 GB is being used! Mind you, this is with all tabs and background applications closed.

    My question is thus, shouldn’t the RAM usage be much much lower in general? If so how can I decrease it

    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
