I just upgraded to windows 10 the past week and I used to idle at 20-30 percent ram usage, but now I'm at 78 percent. Any reason why?

Were you downloading games from Steam? I have an issue that is very similar where if I download stuff from Steam it causes a memory leak, but it doesn't show up in task manager.

Are all drivers updated for windows 10? When was the last time you scanned for malware?

There are no malwares in my computer, but I'm seeing if there are drivers now.
