no, sorry, looks normal to me, you also have some crapware running like Bitdefender and discord. i would recommend windows defender as an AV for starters. 

 

how did you determine that?

Nothing else loaded as you had replied before I merged it into a previously existing thread.

a Mod merged it because it thought they were similar enough, But the problem hasnt really gone away still higher then normal ram usage that doesnt add up and is making the priority of my games really low and run like doo doo is im not sure anymore might just sell the pc and get a new hobby i guess unless anyone has any other info or help

i did also get alot of bloatware anti virus stuff after this started happening trying to see if different software would pick up any bugs or virus' but they have not so you are right it is crapware but it still isnt my main problem unfortunately

i was also thinking this could be due to a faulty driver installed recently maybe?

From what I've seen windows tends to like keeping a solid load of hybrid used + standby ram. It's sort of a insurance policy for apps. At 8-32 gb's of ram it's not uncommon for Ram to be in a used or standby phase and take up close to 50% to 70% because it's ram is the part of the PC that with the CPU's help is rapidly accessing the storage space. Most generic gamers and PC users don't need an excess of ram. Most PC's will work around the constraints a mid range PC needs.

 

It's highly uncommon to be running out of ram. Unless your running an apsolute beast of an application like Resident Evil village or Dead Space (2023) that's infamous for the giant reasources tanking. 

 

Also from your initial task manager page it makes sense that you have 4 GBs to Wow. And then 2 GB's to system background processes. With 3 GB's left in a fast cache state/standby. Equalling out to 9GB's (I'd also note you still have what 6GBs free) that unless you are streaming you won't hit muchless com near your true Ram limits 

 

As someone who's scene what a task manager looks like when running the screenshots look perfectly normal. 

 

For a Windows system to have excessive extra memory definitely would need something crazy like 64 or more GBs to start out pacing the OS's general memory needs. Something the average gamer and general PC user definitely doesn't need unless it's for flexing.

its just strange i dont remember it being like this for the couple years i had the system... my frames and utilization has been extremely poor since i noticed it doing this, ive been digging around and maybe its a corrupt driver that could be causing a memory leak? i cannot for the life of me figure it out though
