    task manager is displaying memory incorrectly?


    When I look at the Users section of the task manager, I'm only using 2.2/13.7 GB or 16% of memory since I'm the only user, but when I look at the Performance section, I'm using 7.1/13.7 GB or 54% of my memory? This is kind of a problem because my battery life has dropped significantly, and my laptop fans turn on even when I only have background processes on.I feel like these numbers aren't adding up and something's wrong with my computer, any thoughts?I've tried restarting my computer, doing the memory diagnostic, none of that helped.I included screenshots of the Processes, Performance, a

    Win 10 Task Manager and Memory Issue

    Thanks for the reply Jim.

    I was sure I had typed the command correctly. As for the memory issues, I've noticed that when I check the Performance tab, it shows the memory usage as a physical amount used out of 16GB, so it appears as you suggested that the 1st page in the task manager
    dialogue incorrectly reports the percentage of memory in use as a percentage of memory overall.

    Many thanks for the reply.

    No restart button in task manager

    another easy way to kill tasks, download and install Winaero Tweaker(free) and theres a setting to add a Kill non responding tasks using the desktop right click menu. When you place your cursor on the desktop anywhere and right click the option is at the top of the list, Very handy and you dont have to go through all those steps and well Winaero Tweaker has alot of cool Windows tweaks. Just posting a different suggestion, Im sure your ok with what was suggested here.
