Windows 10 Uses Up 99% Of RAM and PC Gets Choppy
So I've had this problem for about as long as I can remember, almost as long as Windows 10. For a while uTorrent was causing this problem, but it was fixed with a Nvidia driver update. I believe it fixed it, but not sure. The uTorrent problem was a little different though because you'd see it eating up all the memory and then the computer would crash and become unresponsive. This is different. Now, when I look in Task Manager it says 99% memory usage, but it just says system and compressed memory. I read that it was Windows 10 Superfetch and I've closed it down. Now sure that will work or not, but have read from a lot of people that it didn't work for them. It's not a virus, I know that. I've got 32GB of RAM too.
I did read on Reddit where someone said something about it being an Nvidia capture driver and Shadowplay. Shadowplay isn't even enabled right now, but I am wondering if it has something to do with Nvidia and I feel like that might be true, but if it is, what can I shut down to fix that problem? This seems to happen when the computer has been on for a while, but sometimes it happens only after a few hours. If anyone has any ideas as to what's causing this I'd appreciate it if you have any suggestions. Thanks!
