1. I don't see anything unusual. That's not an abnormally high RAM usage. 2. Some processes will run and use RAM after boot, but settle down once they have completed their routine jobs. e.g. Antimalware is part of Windows Security, updating definitions and scanning for malware. It's normal that it will be quite active for a time after boot. 3. Some applications, such as Google Chrome. are memory hogs. If it matters to you, you could find alternative apps that use less memory. 4. You can disable background services if there are any that you don't need. 5. Unused RAM is wasted RAM. You want the RAM to be used, as that will help your computer's performance. RAM that sits there unused doesn't help anything. Windows will manage when it needs to unload items from RAM to accommodate more urgent processes. So, unless there is some other issue that concerns you, don't worry about it. I don't see a problem.
Is there anyway to get some of this memory back? it seems like a pretty excessive amount to take-up. Is it all in the cache?   Thank you for any help   [IMAGE][IMAGE]
