A while back i upgraded to windows 10 and i noticed the the amount of RAM being used by system is unreasonably high using about 50% of 8 gigs of RAM. The only way i'am able top reduce RAM usage is by restarting my system and it uses about 15% then slowly works it's way up to high usage. Any tips?

What's leaking? When you upgraded to windows 10 did you do a fresh install?

 

If not please do so...

 

I've upgraded 13 computers thus far (4 of my own + friends and family) and not one has memory issues, but I ALWAYS recommend fresh installations for lot's of reasons...

You have to see in Task Manager what consumes so much memory.

It could be a program you have.

If you see that it is "System" consuming so much, then it is a driver that has a memory leak. Now it would be the fun part to find out what driver is causing the problem, and make sure you have the latest version in the hope that it is fixed there.
