Windows 10, are these ram usage numbers normal ?

Hello guys, COmputer has been running for 14 hours, I have played a game for 4 hours, I suspected I had some memory leak, I did some tricks to lower it atm these are the numbers,

Are they nominal ? I have no idea about that non-paged pool, I think it is for kernel itself but it increases time to time, should i do something to decrease it ? Does it hurt the ram ? thanks guys!

they look fine. When I am not playing games I use around 6gb. I do have web pages open and music + other applications running. When I game it does go up. Just make sure that your ram never maxes at 100%.

Thanks for the reply man, I was using chrome while I took that picture, while playing game it maxes out to 4gig without chrome with chrome maxes out to 6gigs, I was wondering if that non-paged pool does something to the porformance.

Windows 10 uses a technology called memory compression to improve performance. Basically takes data it might use again, compresses it, and stores it in the ram for later use. This is to avoid using the hard drive or ssd swap file to improve battery life as well.

As long as you have free space in memory it is going to use it. Also you shouldn't be concerned with memory usage until it exceeds the total, that is after all what it is there for.
