your os uses ram to run
1GB of RAM is being used while computer is idle!

I find that on most computers sitting idle at the desktop with antivirus in the background and all other startup programs trimmed out, that windows 7,8 and now win10 use about 1.2 to 1.8gb ram.
I would think your bigger benefit would be to clean up the startup list to only what windows needs to run correctly and your antivirus.

Relax. 1gb is okay. Running 64 gb ram utilizing 3.6 gb and that doesn't count virtual. 42 processes at idle and 3 start up programs with absolute minimal impact (action center wants me to reduce start items that, in my opinion are needed at start up). Unless your PC is slower than grass growing on a runway then I wouldn't worry about this. Just saying.

Before you spend time uninstalling bloatware (which I totally agree is less than worthless), go into Task Manager>Startup, and disable anything that is obviously bloatware. Don't mess with Defender, or audio (like Realtek), just the real obvious ones. Reboot and see what difference it makes. You'll get an idea what it would be like without all that stuff running. Then, slice away at the bloatware! (backup first, always)
