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!

In the main Task Manager display, it shows 16 GB of RAM available. Additionally, it notes that Google Chrome is consuming 1,600 MB (1.6 GB) of memory. Chrome isn't the sole consumer of RAM on your system.

That's clear, but 1600MB isn't half of my RAM! Is it just 10%?

Other applications also consume memory resources.

Please post full picture of task manager and sort it by RAM usage. Giving partial image like that is very confusing. It also seems like spike just looking at that pic since the other values also have changed so much.

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!
