Question High RAM usage in Windows 10?

[ColgateGator]

My RAM usage seems to be very high, even when idle. I have 2 x 4 gb Ripjaws V DDR4 2133 Mhz https://www.amazon.com/G-Skill-Ripjaws-PC4-17000-2133MHz-F4-2133C15D-8GVR/dp/B013J7PF5K Windows 10 uses 60 % of my ram when doing simple things like browsing the web. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Depends - if you're using Chrome, I wouldn't really be surprised, it's a RAM hog.

Equally, it CAN be malware if you're having unexpected usage. So wouldn't hurt to run malware/virus scans.

Are you actually encountering any specific performance issues that are concerning you?

Some games do suffer from low available memory. For example, Watch Dogs 2 complains about RAM, and Black Ops 4 (Blackout) stutters alot. I will try the virus scan, hopefully it works. Thanks for the advice!
