Posted February 14, 2018 ?! Looks fine to me. If it was less, then you just have more programs running. I see Chrome, and a bunch of startup programs on your system tray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be surprised. As a side note: I would never trust task manager. I would always consult a 3rd party utility. Windows has been really hit or miss with system reporting for me. http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/334934-unofficial-ltt-beginners-guide/ (by Minibois) and a few things that will make our community interaction more pleasent:1.

Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) As for the "issue", I don't really see one. Everything looks normal. You are not swapping to pagefile, nor are you caching an obscene amount of memory. If you start getting warnings that you are running low on memory while performing normal tasks, then you should take a look to see what might be causing it, but it looks good from what I can see.

Majority of the "missing" 100MB is hardware reserved. As it doesn't show more decimal places, it doesn't show the specific amounts, so some will be rounded. I don't see anything wrong here. Windows, background applications and Chrome will easily take up 2.6GB EDIT: Also, no need to post the topic twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing looks out of the ordinary in that screenshot, and as long as performance is not suffering, you should be fine.
