Windows 10: Windows 10 1809 Memory usage high

After restart and running idle with a few chrome browser tabs, memory usage is sitting at a reasonable 48%, but after running for like 24 hours, memory usage will climb to a shocking 96%.

This problem has been there since I upgraded to 1809 in Oct. 5 and I was forced to restart my PC everyday.

Windows 10 memory usage for idle too high


Hi, my guess would be a memory leak - driver - I'm no expert here. Clearly your RAM use is not allocated to obvious processes and is excessive- that said, there's plenty loaded using RAM not shown in the simple list provided by the task manager.
