Windows 10: Solutions for RAM issues

I have a number of issues and deduce that some at least are due to problems with RAM. Usage often goes over 90%, when activities start to crash, freeze, lag etc. I often get 'system does have enough resources' notices, especially when playing videos such as YouTube online.

Despite advice that they are 'no use' I find some of the 'memory cleaners', both automatic and manual, do in fact help. I understand that the OS cleans the RAM itself, but there is an obvious delay so when Windows starts playing up a couple of clicks can bring usage down from 90% plus to around 70% and often the activity is freed. The manual utilities seem most effective.

MY tablet 2-in-1 PC has 4GB which while not a lot is not excessively low, I have been told. Because it is a small, sealed device with mainly soldered components, adding extra RAM is far from easy. The Memory Diagnostic tool reports zero issues.

I have tried a variety of cleaners and discarded many. A combination of the three I have kept seems to be the best I can do. I installed Process Lasso, hoping it might help, but possibly because I do not understand how to use it properly I have not so far seen any benefit. I know about stopping unnecessary programs & hungry background activities but unfortunately the highest memory users are Norton Security and Malwarebytes which plainly I do not want to disable, especially when online; and surprisingly to me three or four Gadgets (8 Gadget Pack) which I rely on quite a lot. I will shortly be activating Defender to replace Norton --- will that reduce RAM usage significantly? Also when the (very) long awaited October update arrives I may reluctantly dispense with the excellent Clipboarder (copy and paste manager),one of my essential Gadgets. I follow advice to do a restart before activities I expect to be memory hungry.

Other suggestions will be very welcome.

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

 

To RAM or not to RAM...

Hey genesis what hardware have you bought, you might be able to save on the ram and step up the rest of the hardware a little...

Or you could go out on the town as suggested... *Big Grin
