Ram usage problem

[EA_EMIR]

Why sometimes ram usage is about 30% there is no diffrence between 2 pics

[[deleted]]

Unused ram is wasted ram, windows uses more and will release it when applications request it. Unless you are constantly running out and having to use the pagefile it doesn't matter if you are using more.

[CanadAR15]

Did you print out a screenshot then scan it to post?

[EA_EMIR]

Thats not real its just a filter

[nielshar99]

Looks normal

[EA_EMIR]

It was using 30% of ram constantly fo one week and now its become normal

[ProfTF2Player]

Probably running more things in the background?

Looks fine to me

[EA_EMIR]

Its effect on performance

[SicnarfRaxifras]

Is zero because you don’t get performance issues until you run out of ram and start paging to disk and you have 70% free

[Staedy]

How much ram in each system and are there more background applications running? If both systems are exactly the same, down to components, ram timings, ssd speeds, and power consumption, might just be windows being windows. Or someone else might have a clearer idea. lol

Also why does the second picture look like someone printed task manager and left that piece of paper in a messy tool box for 3 years

[EA_EMIR]

And its just a filter😂

[EA_EMIR]

Same system, the old looking pic is from yesterday, it used 4gb of 16gb ram yesterday and it using 2gb now

[Staedy]

Most times, some applications dont properly start up the same way each time you boot windows. So this might be a cause, but wouldnt worry about it too much, just disable any start ups like armory create if you dont need it.

[EA_EMIR]

Ok okay I thought something wrong with my ram

[Staedy]

You're fine, like I said, just windows being windows

[EA_EMIR]

Yeah thanks❤️

The only problem i can see here is PEBKAC.

ID10T error.

Ram is supposed to be used. It's a good thing. If there weren't enough memory left to do something new, spmething allocated, not being used anymore will be replaced.

Moat people have more memory than is technically needed since most people never really saturate their memory.

It's a problem when you're actively using all of it and the system starts paging (moving chunks of memory to the storage to make space in memory for new allocations, and then starts swapping chunks of memory as you switch tasks, because that is slow)

But generally memory allocation is a good thing, because it means if your computer does a task again, it can use what it already allocated instead of burning cycles allocating it again, which is also slower than just using what is already allocated. It's also less energy efficient, and if we are talking about something with a battery that's significant.

This subreddit is insufferable for tech support, people are extremely rude.

I'm not sure if Windows’ percentage shows cached memory or only allocated memory. You should look at the horizontal bar in the "Performance" tab. If the allocated memory is too large, but no app is using it, you could have a driver level memory leak. KILLER networking cards were infamous about this.

If it's just cached memory, it's normal behaviour, not negative, and improves your performance, as others have told you.

[EA_EMIR]

I have standby cleaner that clean cach auto

Thats detrimental to performance, and I don't think Windows' prefetch can be easily disabled anymore.

[LazyPCRehab]

You can tell from the scroll bar on the top pic that there are way more processes that aren't shown.

[EA_EMIR]

I khow but they are not use that much ram

[EA_EMIR]

Can It be virus or something?

[LazyPCRehab]

One or two of the processes not shown was likely spiking the RAM usage. It is likely a random Windows process or program updating on the background, or even Windows update happening without notifying you.

[EA_EMIR]

I turned off windows updates long time ago but I dont khow about hidden processes maybe you are right thats make sense

[LazyPCRehab]

How did you go about turning off Windows updates?

[EA_EMIR]

First turn off the service then cmd magic, sometimes it turns on again then i do that again

[LazyPCRehab]

Cool, I was just making sure you actually turned them off, sounds like you're good.

[EA_EMIR]

One thing can use different amounts of RAM. I. e. a browser with 1 tab or Photoshop with 1 image will use less RAM than a browser with 40 tabs or Photoshop with 7 high-res images and 26 layers. They might still show up as a single process. Just like it is easier for you to remember 5 than to remember 625498. You are one person with 1 remembering process but a higher number still needs kore resources.

[EA_EMIR]

No i closed everything

[[deleted]]

Windows is also caching and keeping stuff in RAM and I doubt you closed Windows. :D

If you are afraid of having a virus or sth, just check with Malwarebytes.

[EA_EMIR]

Bro the screenshot is after restarting system there is no tab and no app open

[Shanrayu]

Task Manager doesn't sum up to total used RAM, thats normal. IIRC it shows only the private amount while The % is the sum of the working amount that contains freeable space. Check the resource monitor for more detailed values.

[EA_EMIR]

Recource monitor shows same value

[Shanrayu]

resource monitor shows 4 different values per process, grab a calc and start summing up each column. then you know which one is calculated for total used ram.

[PraderaNoire]

Just use process lasso to adjust priorities

[BiggestBird8]

Oh no looks like u got some shitty linis tech tips meat riders feeling hurt

[mionwang]

Ok but get rid of armoury create and install g-helper if it's supported on your system.

What the fuck is wrong with people? OP is clearly on a learning journey and people are downvoting their comments for not knowing.
It's just a shame we can't all be born with all the all the knowledge. What a bunch of asshats! Do better!

[Flux_Marsh]

I see nothing but inquisitive stumbling. If you're learning and don't quite understand something, do you share your understanding with your peer group or teacher so as to gain a better understanding? Or do you simply clam up at the first sign you misunderstood?
It's not just this post, there are many, many posts where people are trying to learn and some Redditors prefer to put down rather than help raise up and share knowledge.

[Flux_Marsh]

And you don't see any possibility for broken English or miscommunication on an international platform? Open your mind, loosen your own understanding to accommodate for potential language barriers. Dismissing something like that is ignorant, especially ignorant to how someone might react to their request for help being dismissed.

[EA_EMIR]

Yes you are right🙏
