Task manager not showing complete memory usage?


This has a couple of angles on this topic:
All Physical memory being used but nothing showing in task manager - Microsoft Community

Note the comment about data loaded into RAM- not necessarily exe's or dlls.

Suggest this view:



The top file is an O&O disk image file I've just created and written to an external USB.
The second is part of creating OO DiskImage's bootable CD

 

Why does the Windows 11 task manager not show the correct memory usage?

The question was already asked a bit differently in another thread, but the answer was not helpful.

Why does the task manager not show the real usage of RAM of the processes? If you add up everything that is listed in task manager you get less than 50% of main memory usage that is reported on the other tab of the task manager!

This is very unsatisfying, because it means you cannot determine what is actually causing the high memory usage.

It doesn't seem to be Windows System processes alone, but a certain overhead for every program.

If I close a task, that is reported to use 920 MB of memory and compare the overall RAM usage before and after, it drops by 1.7 GB, which is nearly double of the closed process, although on the processes list, this is the only task that disappears.

I'm using Windows 11 version 10.0.22621 Build 22621 on a Lenovo Laptop with ADM Ryzen 7 Pro 4750U and 32 GB of DDR4-3200.

Task manager not showing complete memory usage?


Hi, I have 4GB of DDR3 ram on my laptop. When I go into the task manager to check how much ram is being used, it says only 795MB and yet it also says that 94% is being used.

This is always the case, of course with varying numbers. The memory usage shown does not coordinate with the percentage, but the computer performance certainly correlates with the percentage.

When I check in cpu-z, it does confirm that the 4GB are all installed. What is going on here?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Update #2:
Ah, I missed the performance tab which does indeed show all of the correct total amount of ram being used. Now how do I find all of the individual processes and services using those resources?
