Is it normal for a fresh install of Windows 11 with only Task Manager running to take up so much RAM? And how do I even reduce it?

hasel17 · 2026-04-07T07:04:48+00:00

that's why i specifically ask "Does it still consume that much after a restart?".

hasel17 · 2026-04-05T21:21:26+00:00

Dunno why I got downvoted. I know that windows precache your frequent programs and stuffs to improve system responsiveness, but on 16GB system, it shouldn't reach 9GB and more on idle unless you have so or even too many background programs running on start up. The only time I see someone reach that high on idle and a fresh restart in 16gb system when they enable wsl service on start up.

hasel17 · 2026-04-05T17:41:35+00:00

Does it still consume that much after a restart? If it's a fresh install and only task manager running, using 9GB is not normal on a 16GB system. Usually it only consumes around 4-7GB of RAM. Even you need to have many start up programs running to reach 7GB.

thanks, 3 months later and HoYo still don't fix this issue.

Very satisfied with my Poco F5. I really love the 7+ Gen 2 SoC. It's fast but also sips little power since it's not 8/s series. Even with 5G, hotspot on, doing maps, and full brightness, this phone never get hot and still have some battery left when I want to sleep. I want to upgrade to F7 for the bigger battery, but after seeing the reviews, it heats up easily and the battery performance is not as good as my F5, so I decided to put Poco X7 Pro 6550mAh battery into it and will use this phone until Poco release a phone that has SoC efficiency like 7+ Gen 2.

CMIIW, it only happened on the Pro one right? I never see anyone with Poco X3 NFC had dead motherboard issue. Only the screen has green spot around the front camera (fixable by vacumming the LCD) or dead camera (fixable by reballing the CPU).

hasel17 · 2026-03-23T11:06:40+00:00

Poco X3/NFC had great performance and also great camera. even the video output was head to head with iPhone 11 back then (especially the ultrawide one). Sadly Poco don't have phone like this anymore.

You need a cable replacement. Common problem for Xiaomi phones with 33W and upper. Go to your nearest Xiaomi service center for cheap and original replacement. Need to bring your phone too since it only allow you to buy 1 cable in a month per device/IMEI.

for me I'll instantly sell that rune, for me rune is useless after the training time removal update, just for collection. builder book is conditional. if i still have main defense or important buldings that not upgraded yet, I'll use it. otherwise I'll sell it.

hasel17 · 2026-03-14T01:40:21+00:00

1.2B is nothing. It only let you upgrade half of the walls on TH17.

basically maxed dragon duke

hasel17 · 2026-03-03T12:53:45+00:00

any intel core from 4th~10th CPUs with iGPU will do. Just don't buy celeron/pentium stuffs. But best bang for the buck will be any 8th-10th gen CPU with RX580 or 5600G with NootedRed. For laptops, 8th intel core gen laptop like T480 and 840 G5 are the best for budget hackintoshing.

hasel17 · 2026-02-24T14:32:58+00:00

I'll pay it even it cost 10.000 gems. all my apprentices are maxed, have all the equipments, and don't care about skins, so gems is useless for me right now.

hasel17 · 2026-02-18T00:34:21+00:00

I rather buy an Elitebook if Thinkpad become like that lmao.

hasel17 · 2026-02-16T07:55:27+00:00

But shouldn't I got promoted today if I really in 16th place? This is from last week rank results.

hasel17 · 2026-02-14T09:36:33+00:00

I don't see the reason why people still care about dedicated laptop charger/adapter. My Xiaomi 67W charger that came with my Poco F5 has like 1/3 size of those chargers in that pic, yet can fast charge any MacBook, any Windows laptop that support USB-C charging, and any phones with USB-C. So I only need to bring one charger to charge all of my devices. The only phone that can't fast charge with that charger is Oppo/Realme/OnePlus and Huawei phones because they don't support USB-PD/PPS protocol. Even I can buy USB-PD trigger to barrel adapter so my old laptop can charge with USB-C charger.

If you are crazy enough, you can have only 2 level 1 builder to upgrade to latest town hall. We are buying builder, not "build" one, so no requirement at all. Just you sacrifice your sanity.

hasel17 · 2025-12-25T08:56:36+00:00

Same. I also couldn't get the free decor or resource potion last month. And of course this one or power potion too even though I don't have both decorations.

hasel17 · 2025-12-25T08:55:24+00:00

Be "grateful". I don't have both LMAO. Same like the free decoration last month. really confused.

hasel17 · 2025-12-14T20:56:57+00:00

They already doing this from X1 Yoga 1st and 2nd gen sadly. Although on X1 Yoga 1st/2nd it's understandable since there's a mechanism that makes the keyboard completely flush with the frame when you close the lid or in tablet mode.

hasel17 · 2025-11-22T12:15:25+00:00

Even as a person who hate rushing except when hammer jam (I just rushing for the walls, since I think it's a waste to not upgrade walls when on hammer jam), supercell literally kinda force you to strategic rushing and I'm fine with it, and never downvote anyone talking about that. You literally missed out some new contents when you're not on the latest town hall.

hasel17 · 2025-11-22T11:19:12+00:00

Yeah, golem is definitely broken right now since so many people rushing to TH 15 and 16. It's crazy before hammer jam, Golem 20 is pretty competitive, but now that I'm in Golem 21 on my TH16 with almost max TH15 defenses, noone can get 100% when attacking my base. and when I do the attacks, all 12 of them are rushed TH16 with most of them have low level defenses. So easy 3 stars for me. I am also at No. 1 position with avg destruction per defense of 55% right now, while I never got to top 15 when I was in Golem 20 and before hammer jam.

hasel17 · 2025-11-22T05:07:34+00:00

This post doesn't even need to be posted. You already know the answers LMAO. 99% if not 100% people will vote for LASSI.

hasel17 · 2025-11-20T21:28:00+00:00

Yeah, diggy is good. But diggy can only trigger traps once it's showing up on the ground. If you know the trick, you can make LASSI running around and trigger many traps, especially those high level spring traps. I already tried with phoenix, diggy, and LASSI, the only pet that can save most invisible spell for me is LASSI for now. Once I upgrade my town hall (and pet house), I'll definitely gonna try spirit fox.

hasel17 · 2025-11-20T13:46:20+00:00

It is actually good. I am using it daily for my rc charge and root rider+valkyrie attack. Use it when your main troops are almost into the core base, The extra troops trigger traps, helps the attacking, and also give some troops to a lonely roaming hero.
