Hey peeps

 

So I have googled my ass off trying to figure this out, but im not a very techy guy, I just turn on my computer do schoolwork, watch youtube or play games. So with this problem im kinda lostt. 

My memory is currently at 95% at all times, even after a fresh restart. I had this problem before, but I was told this problem was because of memory leak, so I followed (I think it was) this post. http://www.drivethelife.com/windows-10/fix-high-ram-cpu-memory-usage-after-windows-10-update.html

 

And the problem went away. Now it has returned, and this post does not help me anymore. Some said I have to disable Superfetch, which I realized was not enabled in the first place. 

This might sound stupid to those of you who knows your stuff, but when I open task manager and look at all the tasks open. It says 93-97%, but all the percentages below, does not add up to this. So again, im lost. 

 

And it looks like this problem have gotten worse after I started playing Player Unknown's Battleground, which is on itself struggling with alot of stuttering and memory issues for, I think, all players really. Does this have anything to do with it?

 

If anyone could help me out, or even point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.

 

Thanks

How much RAM do you have?

less than 4GB will probably be full at all times.

Like I said, when I open task manager and look at the processes they dont even add up to the amount that is being used. Which I dont understand.

So which process is using up the all the ram? 

If it is something windows related you might as well try to let your pc sit there for an hour or so.

windows likes to use up ram for updates if it can.
