Memory is getting filled up to 99% even though nothing is running

[shant1235]

I have had this problem for maybe a month now and its getting really annoying. The only way to fix it, is to restart my computer and I'm am hoping to find a permanent solution.Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me?

What does your Resource Manager say?

Click on the Memory tab and then click on the Commit tab. That will show you what's using the most RAM. BElow that will be a graph. That will show you how your RAM is being managed. Even though a lot may be in Standby it will be freed up should another program need it. Windows tries to predict how much RAM the user will be using and reserves that.
