open resource manager on performance page go to memory tab and click on the working tab this will give you a by name list of whats eating your ram.
you can either uninstall uneeded programs or config your start up using msconfig( in a windows search then go to startup tab)
do you have an anti virus?

46% is LOW memory usage. Windows is designed to buffer programs in memory that you are not using. This speeds up program launches etc. on top of that there is NO point to 16GB in a normal system. it just won't be used by ANYTHING unless using high end/expensive professional/scientific software. if it needed the cached memory it would just free it.

You have 8GB free. more than any multi tasking gaming system would EVER EVER need. I'm sorry but your just being silly with this question.

Hey Thanks for answering. I did not know that it was normal. I only know base information about pc's so i see in my processors something is higher so i thought i should ask. Thanks for your help.
