    What percentage of 8gb RAM does windows 10 on idle usage usually?


    I bought a lenovo laptop that came with all the preinstalled software and all. It currently sometimes uses 46-50% of my 8gb RAM on idle usage. Considering 2 tabs of edge and a 1080p VLC file was taking 71%, isn't this too much?

    Idle ram usage at around 8GB!

    ive seen similair threads, and have tweaked the registry values in similair youtube videos.

    just from a normal startup I peak at around 60% used ram out 16 gb installed ( 10ish gb).

    most of the ram is being used by system prcesses mostly reading anywhere from.1-.2 % for each process. I am very confused what is causing this and would like to know if anyone else has seen an issue like this?

    after registry tweaks dont aolve, is my next step to reinstall windows? Is adding more ram viable instead? Thanks for taking the time everyone

    TLDR: machine idles at 8gb ram usage before and after registry tweaks, whats is my next step in diagnosing the cause?

    High idle ram usage 8gb using 60%

    "ram usage at idle is 60%"

    - Not a fix for your unknown RAM use (Greg's suggestions should help with that), and this only adds up to a bit under 1GB use but...

    A system is not at idle with around eight Chrome browser Windows and tabs open.

    Discord, and two active searches. Not to mention a system hogging 'Anti-malware' program.

    Desktop Window Manager is using more than usual as well.

    - It looks like you have a bit of DELL bloatware running too.

    - What is the RAM use straight after re-booting Windows ?

    More ram usage when idle

    Hi. I am using Dell inspiron 15 5577 gaming laptop,windows 10 intel i5-7300HQ processor with 8gb ram and gtx 1050 4gb. When my laptop is idle the ram usage is more than 3gb out of 8gb and there are nearly 200processes running. what can I do about it?
    Is it normal ? Because my laptop hangs a lot and the gaming performance is not upto the mark. Help me with this please.
