  1. Too much RAM taking up, for no reason.


    Well Since a few days, my RAM has always been at 60% or more, even when I just start my computer, at the starting, only RAM always displays 60% or sometimes even more with no apps even being opened.
    I have a few apps installed only, which are the Basic apps Windows 10 defaults like photo's, file explorer, mail, camera etc. and 5 - 6 apps installed by me.
    I have checked everything, useless files and apps which I didn't even found, startup items, I even checked in task manager, I didn't even found a single non-required app that was taking up my RAM, all were either by Microsoft Windows, my Antivirus Avast , and all important processes tasks.

    This started happening since last 1 week.


    Please if anyone knows the solution for it.


    I have 4GB RAM, DDR4 DIMM type, Windows 10, Desktop PC.

    :)

    Photos taking up too much RAM

    I've notice like many others that the Windows Photos application is taking up way too much ram. So for those of you out having this problem like I have, I would suggest simply uninstalling the Photos application using CCleaner and then reinstalling the
    classic Windows Photo Viewer. The CCleaner app and the classic photo viewer can be found on sites like Browse Windows Software. Once you've downloaded CCleaner and uninstalled the Photos application you can then proceed to downloading the original
    Windows Photo viewer, it will literally be labeled Restore Windows Photo Viewer when searching for it on the site that I have recommended. I no longer have an immense amount of RAM being consumed after doing this. I hope this helps anyone who has this similar
    issue. For the record, I can not wrap my head around the idea of a photo application consuming that amount of resources. Especially when the application does not even having anything to w/keeping your OS running smooth and efficient. In fact, this problem
    contributes to making my computer work harder to maintain a certain level of efficiency and in turn has provoked a negative impact on the performance as a whole.In my opinion, I do not think that Windows thought this through and if they did it was not done
    thoroughly enough .
     
  3. Page Table takes too much RAM.

    Hi,

    High RAM usage can be caused by various factors like a malware infection and corrupted device drivers. The first step in fixing Windows 10 high memory leakage would be performing a full scan. You may install an anti-malware tool like MalwareBytes and perform
    a scan. If the issue persists, we suggest that you adjust the page file size or virtual memory in Windows 10. Adjusting the page file size is known for regulating the disk usage and it dramatically improves Windows 10 performance for machines that are using
    SSD type of hard drive.

    Here's how:

    • In the search box, type Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows and press
      Enter.
    • Go to Advanced tab and click Change... button in the
      Virtual memory section.
    • At the top, uncheck the box right next to the Automatically manage paging file size for all drives option.
    • Select drive C: (or the drive where Windows 10 is installed).
    • Select Custom size: by ticking its radio button, and change the
      Initial size (MB) and Maximum size (MB) to the
      Recommended
      value that you will find just below the Total paging file size for all drivers section.

    This method will help improve the system performance of Windows 10, and will gradually decrease the freeze issues.

    Let us know how it goes.
