    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.

    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 ?

    Why do I have a usage of 3gb ram when idle, without browsers?

    RAM usage 50±% on idle.

    without Firefox its on 43% usage, which still looks alot for me considering it to be on idle.

    BitDefender was updating.

    I actually have 8gb of ram, not 4gb.
