Ram stuck at over 80%

[TECHNICAL GAMER]

So, I have a pretty recent PC from 2021. It has an i3 10100f and 8gb of ram. My problem is that the ram is always over 80%. When I open a ram-intensive application, it does reallocate the memory a lil, but that doesn't always help. What do I even do? There isn't even like a hoarding process. HELP

8GB of RAM isnt a lot, this seems like normal usage, only thing you could do is minimise background processes like phone link, google drive, game bar etc

 

Or get more RAM

windows uses up about 4 GB by itself, so you really only have 4GB to play with in other applications, you'll have to limit the number of tasks and prioritize what you want to do

If you just use the pc for basic tasks, you can try using linux, because it uses way less ram than windows, and it might actually help in your case

Like @TatamiMatt said, 8gb isn't a lot. I think we are actually starting to move to 34gb as a good amount. Windows will try to use as much as it needs in that moment to run faster. It's not being used, so why not?

There's your problem. You need more RAM.
