Hey everyone, I've noticed something interesting lately. Both Task Manager and the CAM software from nzxt show my RAM usage hovering around a steady 80% even when I'm not playing games. Even though I have many tabs open in Chrome, upgrading my RAM from 8GB to 16GB didn't significantly change things. Chrome alone uses about 2GB, which is the highest consumer here. I'm puzzled because the total 10GB seems to be being used by other programs that I don’t recognize. This issue appears on both my laptop and desktop. Anyone have any insights or explanations? Thanks in advance!

Open the "Performance" section in Task Manager, select "Memory," and then take a screenshot of that area.

Your unpaged pool appears quite extensive, though it’s unclear without more context. It seems like the system might not have many active programs running. I assumed the reserved hardware amount would be substantial, but it could be a typical scenario. Another person might be able to assist here.

It seems there might be a memory issue, possibly linked to a driver. The referenced article discusses high memory usage in non-paged pool scenarios on Windows.

You adjusted the NDU settings as recommended, but your unpaged pool size dropped to 200MB instead of the expected 5GB.
