11GB of files are cached. More memory will free up when you need it

It’s because your cache is over 11GB. That cached RAM isn’t actively in use and will be available should your computer need it. However, it does contribute to task manager reporting your RAM usage to be a lot higher because of it.

I wish my PC managed memory like this. I have 64GB and I rarely see this much RAM being cached.

Don’t use untrusted Vpns btw

It is just that Windows 10 and 11 deliberately wastes your RAM to make you feel like you need to upgrade. I use Windows XP 32bit and it works fine with my 64MB RAM. They can not fool me /s

Do you use virtual machines? If you restart your computer does it get cleared?
It’s either a VM or a rogue driver, something running at kernel level so Windows can’t track it.

IIRC it was explained to me that windows uses RAM according to how much is available. I am operating on 16GB of ram and roughly 60% of that is currently in use at all times. You don’t have any virii or malware, that’s just how windows operates.

Windows uses it to cache commonly used files and will give it up if another program needs it. Unused ram is wasted ram.

Browser eat all resources that system has. There are no solution for that. It simple to hard be good in resource management and work with heavy complex web sites with striming video and audio.
Yes it shows 269 MB usage but it’s only dedicaded static memory for core of browser. Everyting from online stored in dynamic memory part and it in general has no limit and task manager don’t see full picture for this memory usage.

You know even at 64gb mine seems to do the same thing. Dunno but it’s always fast so 🤷♂️

ram is meant to be used

it says you’ve got 12gb of data cached in your memory. it’s fine, your memory doesn’t need to be unused. chill. oh haha. well. at least you’ll never forget.

Unused ram is wasted ram. Others have explained, so I won’t repeat, but Linux and MacOS do the same.

You’ve got 32Gb, don’t worry about it

You are using your computer. This is entirely normal.
