Hey, I saw your task manager showing high RAM usage—70% on a 16GB chip when just running a game and browser. Did you calculate it correctly? It seems the numbers don’t match. You tried checking the resource monitor but weren’t sure about RAM basics. After closing Mir4 and the launcher, usage dropped under 20%. Maybe the issue is with background apps or system processes. To investigate further, open Task Manager again, look at the "Memory" tab, and see if any apps spike usage. You could also use a memory profiler app for deeper insights.

Close the browser and observe the memory reduction over a short period. (Wait a few minutes after closing) Chromium-based browsers indeed consume significant memory, and Windows 10 may not always clearly show usage, so using Task Manager and Resource Monitor can be helpful.

I understand the issue with Chrome closed affecting monitoring. For tracking memory usage, consider using system tools like Task Manager or specialized software such as Resource Monitor.

Ok, but if I sum everything in use, it doesn't even reach close to 4GB remaining removing the game. All apps open should consume at max 500-700mb. I understand that windows won't show me everything, but something is consuming 4GB alone, and I doubt is the system on its own. Did I understand something wrong here?
