incorrect task manager RAM reporting

Hi all,

I don't know if you have been seeing this as well, but there seems to be either a bug or reporting error where Task Manager reports that a process is using a stupid amount of RAM (in my case, Chrome.exe reports using 2 or more gigs of RAM). When I go to end
the process, it says that the operation couldn't be done because the process isn't valid. After, when I try to organize Task Manager by RAM usage, task manager hangs. Has this happened to anyone else?

 

Task Manager RAM Usage

My computer is running 64 bit Windows 10 with 6 GB of RAM.

I have been monitoring my memory usage via Task Manager and occasionally download tasklist via the cmd line.

What has been bothering me is that my RAM usage at reboot starts at 34%, and left alone, increases to ~75-80% without running any programs.
(I do have start up programs including McAfee, Dropbox, Seagate console, gadgets, etc.)

When I analyze the tasklist download file via Excel, the total RAM memory usage is approximately 3.1 GB at 79%.
Doing the math, this means there is only 4 GB in use?

I have 2 questions:

1. Does Task Manager list all the RAM usage or is there some background usage that is not shown.?

2. Is there any other way to monitor RAM leakage?

 

Task manager shows only 50% of RAM usage

I've 8GB RAM, but the task mangers shows me processes % of 4GB only.

i.e. Google Chrome uses 457MB and the task manger show that is 11.3% of RAM and that means 100% is about 4GB??

task manager usage

I'm using windows 10 and these are
some of my specs info

I checked the Resource Monitor and it shows me that there are 3221 MB cached? Is that normal? and how to fix it?
