Windows 10: Real-time ram usage is less but in percentage it is almost full.

Total RAM: 4GB 3.5GB usable. In the image, you can see that the total is 400MB which is about 10% of the total RAM but it is still using 87% of the RAM, Where does the remaining RAM go? To those who are thinking that it is the RAM usage of only one task, it is not. Once again, It is the total RAM used.

why are my ram usage percentages so high in task manager

I have 8 GB of ram on my PC. So I'd expect my ram usage to be at 100 percent when I'm around 8 GB in usage. But whenever I'm checking task manager, I'll have a couple programs open only using about 500 to 600 MB of memory, and it says that I'm using 50
percent of it. Not sure if this is just a bug where I'm getting the wrong percentages or something. But whenever it reaches 100 percent usage, I get a huge drop in performance.

 

Looking For Program to Show CPU Usage % In Systray

Thanks for the suggestions. Looks like HWiNFO will show what I'm looking for (CPU usage and RAM usage) as percentages.
