Weird RAM usage

[Matros]

Hey guys!
Im having a problem with my RAM for a longer period of time by now.
In TM it say's that Im using 77% of my RAM (I have 8gb Corsair Vengeance Pro) but thats absolute bs because TM say's that Im using about 550mb..

I have Win 10
MB: MSI H87 Gaming G43

Sooo any suggestions?

You aren't the only user on the system, windows has users also. 1st picture shows all the processes running on your user, not the entire PC. Mine shows my user using 1gb but looking at the memory tab on the performance screen shows PC actually using 3gb

Task manager doesn't let you add the column to see which user is using which process but if you downloaded process explorer it lets you add a user column and suddenly see most of the processes running on the PC are not you.


Anyway, The memory used column also includes page file usage and if your PC seems to be using too much, it could be a driver error.

Download Process explorer and run it as admin (it comes from Microsoft so its safe)

the default view is tree structure meaning like your task manager screen, it will show what processes are under each service, but unlike the other one, it shows the ram usage of each part so you can see what is eating your ram

Private bytes = actual ram usage
Working set = Ram + page file usage

This page shows what all the colours and headings mean, link at bottom of it shows how to use it to find problems. You can right click headers and run an av scan from within the program.

Problem fixed. Uninstalled Microsoft Defender and now my ram is at 25% - 30%. Anyway, thank you for solution.
