  1. Very high RAM usage with no apps running


    Hi,

    Task manager shows that I use around 70% of my RAM, although there isn't really anything running.

    The RAM usage increases over time and can even reach 100%.If I restart, the RAM usage drops at 30%.

    I have 8GBs of RAM and have Windows 10 Version 2004 installed.

    This problem occured one month ago, when I decided to update windows after I haven't done so for one or two years.

    I have all my drivers updated.

    Please help, I have no idea what the problem is.

    Very high RAM usage with no apps running

    My ram and cpu usage is very high


    Not using Windows Defender myself to check, as it could be doing something at the moment, you say Defender is always using this amount of RAM or CPU ? High usage for this specific Antimalware would be much higher then that percentage. As far as what else it could be at the moment i can not see the entire list, but Chrome is using more RAM and Spotify is close to Defender's RAM usage.

    Also check the details tab in Task manager, give you better idea of what is running and using both CPU and RAM. Check programs that startup with the PC, in startup tab in Task Manager, try to look and see ones that mention High usage, try to disable if not needed to run at startup as many still keep running after that.

    I would run a full scan with Defender, also try at the run command type mrt.exe. As far as Avast being better, i would think so. Defender alone is not too good, in combination with say Malwarebytes free would be better protection.
    Rule out any virus by doing so, can use Malwarebytes also for now for a scan of system.
