Your PC has a capacity of 8GB but it certainly isn't using 8GB. It says 25% when you took the screenshot, so 2 out of 8GB.

 

You're downloading stuff, you have a browser and have chat softwares open. That actually seems about right.

Perhaps Messenger is using a bit much but the rest just really seems normal to me.

Oh, I misunderstood what you said

 

But nonetheless, 8 GB is still quite normal for a 32 GB computer under decent load. There really is nothing to worry about.

Newer builds of win10 and win 11 see that you have way more RAM than you need and will try to utilize it by predicting what files may need to be reached soon and caching them.  This is why I bang my head on my desk every time I see people worried about RAM upgrades because they hit 80% utilization in game with a 16GB RAM kit.  It's literally just windows trying to make use of unused assets that would be doing nothing otherwise.

I edit the shit out of my posts.  Refresh before you respond.

No, they just want to use the RAM people are just buying because they are a bit undereducated on what's going on.  Caching does make shit faster, and unused RAM is wasted RAM.  With everyone having 16GB minimum now, they want to make use of it to allow the OS to do more faster.  People who saw high utilization with 16GB and upgraded to 32GB or 64GB would have been wise to read up before buying.

Probably at over 97 percent utilization with your active workload hanging. 

 

A lot of background tasks can also be compressed, as they don't affect the performance of your active workload (game, suite, etc.).  Think a chrome session that could sprawl out to 5GB with nothing else running being compressed to 2GB at the cost of a mild reduction of performance to tasks within the chrome tab, which is fine as it's not your active workload
