    1- Open Task Manager to the Processes tab and look at the Memory column.

    High Memory Usage

    Dear All,

    I always have High Memory Usage on my laptop as it is idling.

    Please advise on how do I troubleshoot the high memory usage in order to resolve it?

    Please advise whether I should be getting more RAM instead?
