High RAM usage without programs running.

Question

So I updated my BIOS and after  restart I found out that my RAM ( 8 GB ) was used about 70 % even though nothing was running, I checked task manager and it showed nothing (check the pic).

I also started my PC in clean boot and checked but nothing, I did a virus scan, but nothing showed up, I disable Superfetch service but that didn't helped either.

Hope you guys can help.

My PC specs - 8GB RAM, i3, Windows 10

Moved from: Windows / Windows 10 / Devices & drivers

Oops I forgot to upload the pic here it is -

As you can see there isn't much programs running, just a browser and there's no memory leak too, the non-paged pool is few hundred MB, which I think is fine. So please help me out!

Answer 2

Thanks for the reply, but I already tried that, and it isn't helping me and I also tried doing a system restore , which again didn't helped.
