    Win-10 eating up ram ?...

    I know there is a problem with Google chrome eating up all the ram on my Macs.

    I think it is doing the same thing on my Win-10 computers.

    As soon as I close Google chrome browser my ram usage drops back down to normal.

    How can I print out the list of running processes ?
