Yeah, it's just a windows 10 thing. Everybody has this problem; I've found some really shifty stuff through google that might fix it but I don't really see any performance problems so I haven't tried anything yet.

Pro Tip: don't use flash when taking pictures of your build; use a longer exposure instead. Prop up your camera with something (preferably a tripod) if necessary.

if you use retarded/autistic/etc to mean stupid please gtfo

Do we know if this is being fixed?

No, I think I've read that it's part of the design but here's a supposed fix you can try if you want: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/how-fix-windows-10-high-memory-usage-issue-1514199
