Windows 10: RAM usage

There is something I don't understand, why do different services and processes make a difference in RAM usage and affect the RAM usage of each other. Firstly, the windows widgets was taking up too much of RAM and it was of no use to me, so I disabled it from the registry. Then, I saw the process SysMain.exe consuming a lot of RAM, so I went into services and disabled it. But then after disabling the SysMain service, I saw a hike in dwm.exe RAM usage. It's not just me who constantly suffers from the problems related to dwm.exe. Majority of windows users face this as far as I have been through

RAM usage.

Hi,
Shubhradeep Bhowmick. You may only check the amount of used and available memory on your phone by going to Settings > storage sense. Currently, monitoring the RAM usage is not supported by Lumia phone. Best to suggest that feature on this page:

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?
