Windows 10 high memory usage

[Torkerull]

The past few days my memory usage has been close to or at 100% constantly. I have checked with task manager and it's clear what's causing this. Service host (lots of different ones) is using a lot of the ram. I have checked task manager on different computers and none of them have the same high usage. as mentioned this has been occuring the past few days. The computer overall feels slow and im unable to play games. 

 

I'll add a picture showing task manager allthough it's in Norwegian. If there is any questions regarding translation of this i'll answer them below.

 

I'm using 2 x 4 hyperx ddr4 ram sticks running at 1200 MHz.

Do a virus scan with malwarebytes

supposedly wallpaper32.exe is a known file name that malware will try to hide under , check if it's in the wrong subfolder because that'll give it away

Fun fact why I suggested it.

Windows update installed a virus/miner. 99% cpu and ram usage, and Defender didn't flag it as virus/miner. (started after windows update)
