    Using 85% 15GB RAM - Task Manager shows 5GB used?


    I have 16GB of RAM installed so in the region of 15GB the PC gets slow and gets hiccups. What I have noticed that on both Windows 10 and 11 after upgrade the RAM is reaching max with no apparent reason, With just 3 programs open, for example, little video in Vegas pro, A browser and Word or Corel Draw.All apps when added up in Task Manager do not add up to 15GB, they total to just a third or maybe half of that, which is more realistic as a year ago I had just 8GB PC and it was manageable, now I have twice the RAM, much faster CPU and the RAM gets somehow filled very quickly by some invisible s

    Task manager reports ram is ddr2, but i am using ddr3 ram.

    Hello Jaden,

    We realize the inconvenience you have experienced with incorrect information for Ram on Task manager. We will certainly help you.

    We suggest you to check the Ram from the BIOS setup and check if its showing up correctly. Further we suggest you to update the BIOS from the manufacturer website and check if it resolves the issue. You can enter the BIOS by booting up to your system and
    then press

    F2 key or any other key mentioned on the Start of the system
    • Turn the computer on.
    • If you see an invitation to press the F2 or other key to enter Setup, do so.
    • The Setup (BIOS) screen will appear.

    Let us know the status of the issue. We will be happy to assist you further.

    Thank you.

    1* - You have 2 RAM of 4GB

    2* - Task Manager shows you have 8GB

    3* - 3.8GB(in use) + 3.8GB(cached) + 0.624MB(Hardware Reserved) + 0.230MB(Pool) = 8GB(approx. more)

    Note:

    • 1GB = 1024MB
    • It seems you have more than 8GB RAM
    • You might be using any RAM Boost Software

    Using 85% 15GB RAM - Task Manager shows 5GB used?

    Combining OneDrive's 5Gb for 3 devices into 15Gb

    I was wondering why one is restricted to only 5Gb on OneDrive when I have three devices using Windows 10 and would like to have a combined total of 15Gb. If each machine had a different profile then I could have 5Gb per profile. Why am I punished to
    only 5Gb when using one profile as this is not much for sharing data among 3 machines. I am currently paying Google 1.99 for 100Gb which I would be willing to pay that also for Onedrive but I think their current pricing is too much.
