i have windows 10 installed on my laptop and 12 GB of RAM, the problem is that recently when i start it up, the task manager shows that i am using around 80% of the total RAM, even do i'm only browsing,

i scanned for malware using malwarebyte and it showed nothing, the antivirus i have installed is the Bitdefender and my gpu drivers (970M) are up to date.

i don;t know what can be causing this, is not always that happen, but most of the times, by doing absolute nothing. and when i checked the task manager, in the users tab, i was only using around 40%, witch is still a lot for browsing.

Switch to the "Details" Tab in the task manager, it shows more tasks that may be taking up the ram.

you just leaked your e-mail address, does that bother you?

 

also you're using chrome which alone takes 2.6 GB, how does it make you feel?

and you're running a lot of bloatware like origin, steam, cortana and dropbox which take another 2 GB, are you crying yet?

I went to detais and started to end a lot of programs i wasn't using, lowering the RAM my user, the only one in my laptop, was using to 20% but even though i did that that task manager showed that it only went down to 70%.
