I've been facing the same problem where opening Task Manager shows all my 64GB RAM being used, but when I check the processes, nothing appears to be consuming that amount. Could you share the screenshots? Any suggestions on how to view RAM usage more effectively, beyond just programs? Let me know if you need additional images!

What SSD do you have? If it's DRAM-less, your system may be using regular RAM as a read/write cache. "Free" RAM is wasted RAM. As long as Windows is purging unnecessary or low-priority things (like disk cache) as applications need the RAM, don't worry about it.

Check the memory details below the chart. Your non-paged pool stands at 23GB while paged occupies 210GB... for context, this is how my setup appears currently.

I generally restart it every few days. Appreciate the download link for Process Explorer. After rebooting it seems more balanced, possibly due to Windows handling sleep mode differently. Thanks for the assistance; I’ll let you know if I can pinpoint the issue.
