    How do you reduce RAM usage?

    Seems excessive in your case. What are your page file settings, and have you ever changed them from default?

    Please repost task manager after a clean boot for reference.

    Your CPU use is high, and there's disk activity. After a clean boot, with your PC nominally idle, you should expect low CPU use- better than 3%- and no disk or internet activity.

    Sorry, but the information provided isn't very useful. Post a screenshot of Task Manager - Performance tab showing memory info. Post this on the forum, not a third party site.

    Post Task Manager memory info by highlighting the Memory icon on the left side, like below:

    Close all browsers, applications, etc and post a screens hot from sys internals process explorer, which you can download at Microsoft.com

    Also run this is Powershell and post output.
    One liner to find the name of your highest memory usage process

    Get-Process | Sort-Object -Descending WS | select -first 1 | select -ExpandProperty ProcessName

    One issue I see is the high Paged pool. Not all of this will be in RAM and Task Manager cannot tell us how much is. But I suspect a large part is. This is often caused by a driver problem.

    Im going with it due to having Chrome and other apps open. I would love now how many extensions and tweaks are going on in FF and Chrome, along with what tweaks have been done to W10.
