Good afternoon. I built my computer a bit less than a year ago, and have been incredibly happy with it. There is an issue that started today with Minecraft. When I minimize Minecraft with 1GB allocated to it, my ram usage goes up to 4GB and my mouse starts lagging around the screen/my discord audio glitches out. I did a fresh install of Minecraft and deleted everything from Roaming, what could the issue be that causes my memory leak?

The reality in Task Manager: https://snag.gy/7mlsVe.jpg
Also, why is my CPU usage way higher when this happens than any other time I have played MC before?
I'm sorry if this is dumb or repetitive as I couldn't find anyone with my same issue after looking for hours.
Thanks in advance.
