    Windows 11 unexplained high RAM usage

My laptop has 16 GB ram.Also, i noticed that when I open task manager it freezes for a second, and while its frozen it shows 60-70% CPU usage, but then CPU usage drops to normal.I am

    High Ram Usage

    Hi there,

    So this is the problem, From the time I bought this brand new IdeaPad Flex 5 (itlo5) 14" laptop, there has always been high ram usage when I look in task manager. The ram usage has always been around 80%. I have tried to clean install windows (which removes all bloatware from the manufacturer) but there is still high ram usage. My old HP laptop had the same amount of ram as this laptop (4GB) but the speed of the ram was slower. And the ram usage had been lower than this laptop!

    Thanks

    Windows 11 unexplained high RAM usage

    Ram Usage Make no-sense (High Ram usage on idle) [Windows 11]

    Just like the title goes, my PC's Ram usage is at +70% while idle (and around +95% when running Ableton Live),

    It is mind blowing to see such stats on idle when my system has 32 GB DDR5 (6000 Mhz) of ram.
    I tried checking memory usage with Windows's task manager and system informer (open source) the ram usage is the same and nothing shows a high sign of a thread that uses most of it.

    Also, I've tried disabling startup applications, turning off Sysmain, as said on the Internet, but they all didn't change anything. Is there any way to fix this while not clean installing windows again?
