Windows 10: What is your lowest Memory consumption in Windows 10 start-up?

I have a strong curiosity to ask this question since I have noticed that ever since upgrading Windows 8.1 to a fresh Windows 10 installation (from reformatted hard drive) my lowest RAM consumption at Windows 10 startup with selective startup is 1.1 GB (14%). That is higher than Windows 8.1 711MB RAM (9%) usage with 8GB RAM.



That is a good chunk 400MB RAM more usage than Windows 8.1. This is more or a less the exact same figure with the Home version and now Pro version that I have tested this past month.

Obviously I have 8GB RAM so perhaps having less/more RAM might show a different Memory consumption. But I'd like to know from you guys what you see in your Task Manager as your lowest RAM consumption at Windows 10 startup shortly after SysMain loads up.

I'd like to know how much the Memory consumption differs from one system over another or whether they are similar through-out all systems.*092

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
