Windows 10: Very high RAM usage without any programs open.

My laptop has 16 gb of ram and for some reason, it has about 50% ram usage without any programs open. When I go on task manager to see which programs are using the most RAM, there's nothing that using a lot of ram. Even with all the programs' RAM usage on task manager, it only adds up to about 2GB of ram. When I restart my computer, the RAM usage goes down to about 30% but after using it for a little it quickly goes back up to 50%. I also don't restart my computer very often since restarting takes about 20-30 minutes. How can I fix this?

@AddRAM: RAMMap did nothing as I emptied all the lists. At first boot RAM usage is normal, but when I work or play some time it kinda stacks up the RAM. Snip of the resource monitor
