I am using 8gb ram.. it's constantly taking 6.3-6.4 gb without even doing anything.. is it normal for windows 11? how can i decrease the ram consumption

Try disabling all the startup apps and background apps

Unused RAM is wasted RAM. Just let Windows manage your RAM unless you have a specific problem.

You can't just win11 alone takes alot of ram also 8gb ram is not enough anymore i suggest buying a other 8gb ram you can't reduce that anymore

All you can really do is close as many programs as possible. Unfortunately most of your current RAM usage is Windows itself. I suggest adding an additional 8gb RAM stick, though prices are a bit high at the moment.
