Hello everyone,
I'm currently battling a problem with my computer's RAM. I have 32 GB of RAM installed and the last few days or so it has been obscenely high memory usage. As soon as I reboot the computer and the desktop is loaded I immediately open task manager and it shows 38 - 40% memory used but refuses to show what is using that memory.
In task manager, this is sorted by 'Memory':

This is the performance tab:

A friend recommended checking into the RAMMap application, and this is what I see here:

It seems whatever this nonpaged pool section is, is eating almost 10 GB of RAM! From what I've read online that area is driver related and shouldn't be exceeding even 1 - 2 GB at the very most.
Further research led to me downloading and installing visual studio community 2017 so that I could then install the windows tool kits for Windows 10, to access this program called poolmon.exe
I have run that application and it shows a bluescreen with probably a hundred or more pages of data and I don't understand a single bit of it, more specifically, how I can use it to identify what is sucking all this memory out of nowhere suddenly. This machine is several years old and has never had this problem so this is a very new thing to just suddenly start happening.
Here is a screenshot of the top of the poolmon.exe screen:

Please help me figure this out! Thank you for your time.
