That's just what chrome does you can swap to a different browser or use a extension that caches them in hdd or ssd or you can just accept it and buy 32 gigs of ram like i did

Run Resmon.exe and check what the Memory tab shows?

[Triventular]

maybe too much background processes? try to close as many as you can.. or it might be a virus lol.. haha

at the bottome of performance in task manager click open resource monitor

remove applications that run on windows startup.. i only have 6gb on my system(yes, i'm poor).. but i disabled almost anything that opens on startup like steam, discord, skype, and such

Since you're running an MSI motherboard, I'll assume you have Killer Network Manager bullshit installed.

It's a known problem with that piece of junk app. Uninstall it (keep the LAN driver though)

nevermind. it's a realtek NIC.
