Hi,

Whenever I check my RAM usage, I always find it above 80%. Though, it has not created any problem yet. I am mainly facing this issue for video conferencing apps. They show me that for good meeting experience close other applications and the RAM usage is very high. At times RAM Usage even goes upto 90% to 95%. Also when I checked on internet, they also told that RAM consumption should not be high.

So pls anyone help me with this problem.

I want to reduce excessive RAM consumption without affecting its speed and performance.

I have 4GB RAM.

Go to settings, graphic settings, and choose the app you use most click on them and choose the performance options. Then go to search and scroll to the bottom and choose respect these settings. Also, go to performance settings and choose custom and check the top block animate, show thumbnails and smooth edges screen font so your text, etc don't look fuzzy or you can just choose performance at the cost of clarity. Type MSConfig in run hide Microsoft services and apply if it does not respond uncheck third-party security like Malwarebytes. Restart your PC.

I would increase the RAM to 8HB or more.  I use 16GB.

My wife complained as too slow when she had only 4GB but I increased it to 8GB and she was happy.  She now is at 16GB as she is on another laptop that has an I7processor.
