Using Brave for YouTube and browsing makes the experience quite slow. The screen often tears and appears laggy, which wasn’t an issue before. The Task Manager shows only a small amount of memory usage, similar to when 16GB is installed. There are no other browsers installed because there isn’t enough free space. Even with less than 100MB available, I’m not sure what’s causing this problem.

Yes, browsers with 5GB RAM leave enough space for the rest of your PC to function. There are limits because of memory constraints, especially on systems like Windows 11. If you have extra RAM, consider reinstalling it.

Loading from the page file is slowing things down. Ensure you have a minimum of 16GB RAM for optimal performance. Updated on June 9, 2023 by Whatisthis Added more RAM for better clarity

Yes, 5GB typically refers to a combined storage capacity across both your browser and Windows system.

Task manager isn't great at showing things clearly. Get hwinfo—it's free, and you should be able to view much more than what's currently available. Try checking it out.

Updated the page file size to 16GB, but the delays remain unchanged. No RAM-related issues were detected in the hardware monitor for all of your PC. Everything appears to be functioning properly from my perspective.

It runs on all available RAM, speeding up loading times. When memory is limited, Windows swaps important data to a swap file when programs need more than what’s in RAM. This causes the hard drive to become extremely slow, leading to noticeable lag and stuttering.
