I dont know if this is bad or not but at idle, my pc says it's using about 75-85% of my ram, and at games it doesn't really change, sometimes goes lower. I have 16gb or G.Skill Ripjaws 1600mhz (standard) ram. i recently updated to windows 10 and thats when i noticed this issue. It may have been present during windows 7 (previous version) but i didn't notice it. When I goto my resource monitor to check what is hogging all the memory there isn't anything that is solely using x amount of ram, the thing using the most is my vsserv.exe and then system, and those aren't even half a gb.
Also i have a program that shows me how much swap i am using or is being used. i have no idea what swap is or what it means but it shows up under ram section so i though i would throw it in, it says 45%
why is my ram usage so high for no reason? is this bad? i spent an hour or so trying to google it and what i read was i guess windows 10 stores stuff on ram so it will load and work faster but reset once the pc is turned off. Is this true? if so, would this high usage of ram slow my pc down any? i've seen it go to around 95% before.
Someone please help!
