Hello fellow newcomer, welcome! I'm here to assist you. You're experiencing a memory issue with your 16GB setup—only about 14GB is being used while one Chrome tab runs at 500MB and another at 20MB. It seems like something is leaking memory, possibly from a program or driver. Restarting helps temporarily, but I think it's time to investigate further. To find the culprit, you can check your system settings or use a memory profiler tool that doesn't require a reboot. Let me know if you need guidance on tools or steps!

I'm working on Windows 10 with Task Manager. No third-party apps needed. The images shown might show minor variations, but the issue remains clear.
