Hello, thank you for your message. I understand you're experiencing higher RAM usage than reported in Task Manager, especially when using a virtual machine. Many users report similar issues with Windows, suggesting it may automatically adjust based on activity. However, your recent VM setup seems to be causing instability—when the VM reaches 4GB, other processes crash and the usage spikes to nearly 100%. To investigate further, you could check the VM settings, ensure sufficient resources are allocated, and monitor system performance logs. If needed, consider adjusting virtual memory or increasing physical RAM allocation.
