Over the years with this build, whenever I finish a big project or program that uses most of the system memory, the machine slows down significantly. For instance, when memory drops from 23GB to just 3GB, the system pauses for a while before resuming normal operation. At first, I didn’t think much of it and just accepted it as normal, but now I’m curious about what’s really happening.

Most likely 23 out of 24 are relying on a pagefile. Clearing it takes a while and requires time for the HDD or SSD to adjust.

That would appear under drive usage metrics.

It's tough to identify without the exact specifications. You mentioned your setup is quite old—do you remember the exact model of your rig? The CPU and operating system details are also important for understanding what might be causing memory issues.

Yes, but based on the system, it might appear typical.
