Question High Memory Usage

[DarKS4ys]

Hello,

My laptop is suffering a problem of high memory usage. It really makes the computer unusable and annoying so i need a fix.
I've done a malware scan using Malwarebytes but it didnt help. Computer uses %90 RAM almost every time.

Computer Specs:
I5 7200U
NVIDIA 940MX
12 GB RAM
480 GB SSD

What sort of processes are running on your platform? If you're idling and that's the sort of memory usage you're seeing, it's due to memoryleak, the only way out of that issue is to try a system restore, to a point prior to the issue or a clean install of the OS/ A memoryleak issue happens when your OS is corrupt.

Can you show Task Manager / Processes section (ordered by memory usage) ?

if running Windows;
open Task Manager and see which process/processes are using the large amount of memory.

appears you have a lot of crap running that are each using pretty large amounts of memory.

my average process usage(with ~70 processes) on a clean boot is maybe 20% at most, you can see you've got many using 100s of MBs of memory.

stop processes from loading with Windows until you are ready to use them.

If you go to the Performance tab, then the Memory page, is "Non-Paged Pool" significantly more than 1GB? See the image for reference

If yes, you likely have a leaky driver. Start with the network one.

Try it the easy way use task manager/startup and disable all the stuff you don't need running all the time.
