    RAM usage in the taskmanager shows 160MB used as 85% of 8GB RAM

    Specs:

    Windows 10

    i7 4770k

    MSI Z87-G43

    nVidia GTX970

    1x 8GB RAM

    (advanced user)

    Upload photo doesn't work at the moment for me, so I'll be explaining the situation with words:

    When I open the taskbar while idle and look at my RAM usage, it shows pretty high numbers (75+).

    I don't run many RAM-heavy programs at once so 75+ is not ordinary, and if I look at the combined usage per user it shows that I have used ~160MB RAM.

    When I got to the second tab in the taskmanager, it shows that I have used 7,1GB of RAM.

    What am I missing here?

    Another thing that is happening sometimes lately, is that my PC won't shut down when I click the 'shut down' button. It turns off the display and immediately returns to the lock screen, as if I pressed 'log off'.

    Maybe this has something to do with the RAM being weird.

    Any help?

    ms store and taskmanager

    Hi,

    I would like to know if you're still having this issue with MS Store and Taskmanager. In line with this, kindly provide the following information:

    • What is the error message when running MS Store and Taskmanager?
    • Were there any changes made before this issue came up?
    • What is the build and version of your Windows 10? To find out which version of Windows your PC is running, press Windows logo key + R, type
      winver, then select OK.
    • What are the troubleshooting steps you have done so far?

    I'm looking forward to your response.
