RAM idling between 30 and 40% usage.

[Myusername468]

Why is this, nothing is running, yet its still at 30-40% used. I have 8gb of ram.

your computer will always have something running in the background. If your ram is throttling during actual usage of the machine just add more.

That's a pointless question without also stating the total amount of RAM installed and your system specs.

It's not, but you say "add more" like it's cheap. I don't have the money to "add more".

go in to task manager and see what programs that's running the ram, you can disable the programs you are not using, it is normal for the ram to be running on atleast 30% of the ram if you have 8 GB cause win 10 is setup to be running faster this way.

Eyeballing everything added up still isn't 2.1gb
