Your RAM is being consumed by Windows even when idle, despite having 16 gigabytes installed. Check for background processes or resource hogs that might be using memory. Consider adjusting settings or running a memory profiler to identify the issue.

Windows treats RAM as cache to boost performance during app launches. It can release RAM when necessary for smoother operation.

Empty RAM means unused memory, and as long as you're running applications with minimal RAM needs, it will consume whatever space is available. When memory-hungry programs start loading, the freed space becomes available again.

As discussed before, everything works well. The more RAM you have, the more Windows uses it. Various hardware, software, and drivers also influence how much RAM is needed. Even if your RAM is slightly more than someone else with the same amount, other factors like background applications can make a difference. If RAM is nearly full while nothing is running, or it only grows slowly without doing anything, we should consider this.
