    Question Is it normal to have to restart to clear unused ram?

    I always use Task Manager to keep an eye on memory use. Besides casual gaming, I always keep the same apps open, Brave and 4 or 5 Potplayer instances. Brave and Potplayer are the actual processes that, after a couple of days, start using more ram.

    Question Is it normal to have to restart to clear unused ram?

    I'm using Windows 11 24H2 and I keep my pc on 24/7. The problem is that after a couple of days, the ram usage swells up from 30-36% to 40-45% and I always use the same apps/games daily, which means I'm having to reboot every couple of days for Windows to go back to normal ram usage. Is this...

    [SOLVED] USB sound adapter won't work anymore ?

    No, but I have Windows 7, 10 and 11 on this same pc, which proves it's not the adapter itself. It works on Win7 and 11, but not on Win10. The issue started happening today on Win10 only.

    [SOLVED] USB sound adapter won't work anymore ?

    I don't know its name and model. I've tried different USB ports. I think you're right, it doesnt need drivers, but why has it stopped working only on Windows 10?

    [SOLVED] USB sound adapter won't work anymore ?

    For some reason, my usb sound adapter stopped working on Windows 10. But the strange thing is that on both Windows 7 and Windows 11 it works just fine. The sound adapter appears on Device Manager with a yellow exclamation mark. I've tried updating its drivers but Windows won't let it...
