Running with about 4 gigabytes of RAM?
Running with about 4 gigabytes of RAM?
You're just entering opera mode and quickly checking system details. You have a solid setup with plenty of RAM and storage, and you're curious about background processes. It's normal to run several tasks at once, but keeping an eye on them helps maintain performance.
browsers operate on multiple platforms. even after closing it, memory won't be freed until needed again. that's normal. I'm experiencing similar behavior right now, mostly background tasks running.
additionally, on windows 10 it might also be possible to utilize a fair amount of resources. my current usage stays between 3 to 4 gigabytes during idle after booting up. right now i’m not heavily utilizing anything and i’m sitting at around 6 gigabytes idle. however, i do have 16 gigabytes more ram available. most windows users seem to consider that acceptable. when i had 32 gigabytes on my previous system, it was roughly 8 gigabytes or about 10 gigabytes during idle with just firefox, steam, discord, and a few simple wallpaper images—though those slow down when i’m doing tasks.
@Plutosaurus Got it, I’ve only reached 10 GB before, but it’s good to be aware.
yeah its just normal now a days. ever try win 10 on just 2 gig of ram? not fun aha. i had to force an old 10 year old pc to 8gig cause of the win 7 being out of service soon with win 10 ran ok on 4 gig but geez not much room to do much
I've dealt with a failing laptop that would crash about twenty times daily. Even after switching to Windows 7 and replacing the hard drive, it still experienced frequent blue screens—much worse than before. That’s something many people can understand.
