Performance remains strong above 80%
Performance remains strong above 80%
You're dealing with a situation where your PC's RAM usage stays consistently high, even when you run memory-heavy programs. It sounds like the system is constantly trying to manage or swap memory, but it doesn't fully resolve the issue. You might want to check for background processes, update drivers, or consider upgrading to more RAM if possible.
Windows consumes roughly 4 GB on its own, leaving just 4 GB available for other programs. You’ll need to manage tasks carefully and focus on essential activities.
For simple work on the PC, you might consider Linux since it requires significantly less memory compared to Windows, which could improve performance for your needs
As @TatamiMatt mentioned, 8GB isn't very much. I believe we're actually shifting toward 34GB as a reasonable size. Windows will attempt to utilize the available space to improve performance when needed. Since it's not being used, that makes sense.
