Windows says your RAM usage is 50%, but you actually have 16GB installed.
Windows says your RAM usage is 50%, but you actually have 16GB installed.
You're mixing up some numbers here. Let's clarify:
If 50% of RAM equals 1600MB, then your total RAM should be double that.
So 1600MB is half of your total RAM, meaning your total RAM is 3200MB.
But you mentioned you have 3200MB, which matches the calculation.
If you're saying you always use 65% of your RAM, that’s a separate point—let me know if you want help with that too!
With 16GB RAM, performance improves to 50%, not 10-12% as seen in Chrome.
You can enhance Chrome by selecting ">" next to the Google Chrome in your task manager. There could be an issue preventing the system from accurately tracking its RAM usage. This might indicate that malware has taken control of your device. Also, consider whether you're opening many tabs simultaneously. Try closing most of them and observe if the RAM consumption decreases. You can also terminate the Google Chrome task to check how much your memory usage drops.
I reinstalled Windows but couldn't locate a fix. It might have been malware consuming extra RAM. Appreciate the assistance!
