Computer is consuming a lot of memory space.
Hello, Im running a 32gb ram system and everything is detected whenever i open up Intelligent Standby List Cleaner (ISLC) but the problem is that even with a fresh restart of my pc, i usually only have about 23GB ram free to use, and nothing on the joblist shows any signs of using more than 4GB. I was wondering if anyone had the same issue with a possible fix for it! The picture attatched was taken when i was playing Call of Duty which in the joblist only uses about 4GB of ram, so i have no idea what would cause my pc to use so much ram... The task manager has been sorted from highest ram usage to lowest. thanks in advance EDIT: Under the user tab in task manager it says im the only account, and it's using 5GB of ram in total
Using RAM cleaners isn't recommended because they can damage the delicate components inside the memory chips.
They’ll remove leftover information from your memory, but in truth it’s merely kept there until needed. Clearing everything will force a full reload from the storage, which slows down performance. Plus, many come with some kind of unwanted software or ads.
Windows handles this automatically for you. RAM cleaners often free up space by deleting files that aren’t currently needed, which can make new systems run faster. However, these cleaners sometimes remove important data along with it, causing leftover information to stay behind. Over time, this can lead to a memory leak as old files accumulate and the system struggles to manage them properly.
Launch your system and capture a snapshot of memory consumption. Since Windows runs large, this usage is probably typical.
You're likely correct, though it doesn't clarify why so much RAM is being consumed when a user's Windows instance only requires 5GB.
