Windows 10: Windows Explorer 80-85% memory usage

So windows explorer was using about 80-85% memory, I had a look around here but I didn't find anything particularly helpful. However I restart the process from Task Manager and then it dropped to normal. Will restart computer to see if it persists did not think about it before hand.Device is a laptop with 32GB RAM and 2x512 SSD running Windows 11 Home 22H2

Edge and Chrome memory leak ? Memory usage 80-97%


Now i'm using windows 10 but I had this problem also when using windows 8.1pro.
The windows 81.pro I have the original dvd here and I tried few times to make clean install.
Also windows 10 I got it free online and the same problem.

For example now i'm using Edge I have two windows opened in one I have 10 tabs open and in the other I have like 20 tabs open. But the problem happen also with two windows and 6 tabs open in each one.

The problem is that once I start Edge or Chrome on windows 81.pro or windows 10 I see in Task Manager that the memory usage is about 60%. Then after some times without doing anything special the memory usage raise to 80-85% then ine many cases also to 96-97-98%.

Now and in most of the times I have in the background a game running in this case battlefield bad company 2 that take about 600-800MB of memory.
But it happen even if I close the game.

The only way to push the memory usage down is in the task manager to shut down the Edge/Chrome and all it's tabs.
Then to start the browser again.
I tested my pc with memtest I don't have any memory errors.
I don't have any blue screens. Can't figure out where is the problem.
My brother have like 10-15 years old pc then my one with 4GB ram and he can open like 20 tabs of chrome without a problem.

While the memory usage raise to 85-98% everything is running slow all the pc is slow almost freezing.

Before finding a fix I was wondering if there is a way to dig and find what cause the problem.
And also if there is any fix already i would like to know about since i couldn't find anything yet.

 

Memory usage being up at 80 -100% (Help)


Hi. A couple of days after Windows 10 was released i upgraded from previous Windows 8.1. I had a problem with windows 8/8.1 with my Disk usage always going up to 100%, this problem carried over to windows 10 luckily so did the easy fix for it. (For me disabling Background intelligence Transfer service and Superfecth seems to do the trick)

However lately I've gotten a new problem, with the memory usage being at 80% up to 100%.






It seems to be hidden processes so does anyone know how i can find the source of this?
I tried downloading Windows driver kit (The latest one i could find was for Win8/8.1) and poolmon was able to show me the hidden processes.



However when trying to identify the processes xperf doesn't seem to want to work with me



I'm not that good on this kind of stuff and all this was just me reading and trying out methods that i found when looking for help.
So does anyone know how i can fix this?

 

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.
