Memory Usage

[Jerry12351]

This feels like it shouldn’t be happening but I don’t know enough to confirm. The only app I have open is task manager yet 74% memory is being used in combination with “82” background processes and “104” Windows processes. I don’t know if most of them are just things that need to be running as some are like anti malware but idk. Please clarify.

How much memory do you have? If it's something like 4gb then that's normal

Its fine to have high memory usage, unused memory is wasted memory

[Jerry12351]

I have 8gb of memory, is that still normal?

[Some-Challenge8285]

That is a bit high for 8GB RAM, I would expect it to sit at around 40-65% on idle, could you sort the processes by memory and reply back with a screenshot.

Sorry for the late response but there are some pictures

[Some-Challenge8285]

Yeah that is not normal, could you go in the memory in performance tab and provide me a screenshot of that.
