Hii ,


I'm Milan. I'm using HP VICTUS and it's running on Windows 11 Single home. Due to some problem in my laptop, I have cleaned my window and reinstalled the same from my bootable pendrive which i have prepared at the time of buying my laptop. After that re-installation of windows all problems are solved and my laptop got a new look, But here is the problem arises when I open task manager my brain was like BOOM.I saw that my RAM was consuming minimum 60-63 percent, when no active application is running. And when I use at least 2 or 3 applications, it reached at 70-75 percent. So please help me get out of it.

    Hello,

    Try to perform a clean boot to check RAM usage.

    Perform a full scan.

    If none of above steps works, we recommend you use Perfmon to check.

    Have a nice day.

    Best Regards,
