memory Memory Issue 85% memory usuage on boot! Need Help Fixing!

[Rutledge]

I have been running into a problem lately of my memory usage running very high. I have 16 GB and on launch my computer says it is using 15.9 GB? Causing issues while gaming or just for general use. How can I fix this?

Its all of the micro stuff it adds up fast so uninstall programs that you don't use at all

Numbers don't add up, since it seems you are showing the most demanding tasks first. Do a virus/mallware/whatever check. (not sure about that windows version, but does it have an option to show all tasks, instead of only your tasks?) Windows 7 has a thingy for it...

I have windows 10, but unsure how to show all tasks. the numbers definitely don't add up though, which is why I'm very confused. I can screen shot all the tasks it list.

There is no real need to do that I think, since the list ends (first image) with 14.x mb crap in your memory. I would check your installed programs, check what programs are active and google them. (what are they used for, can you terminate the process, can you remove it) and do a virus check or something. But maybe someone with windows 10 knowlage might have better advice. I like my old and stable Windows 7 installation.

It can't actually be too many things running. It literally started doing this out of no where and I have cut back things, but it hasnt changed the amount of usuage at all.

Fresh windows installation will solve all the problems

 

But you might want to try uninstalling all unnecessary programs. Limit startup programs. And scan for malware. Use ccleaner clean everything.
