Been having this problem recently where I sit idle with 70-80% usage with nothing open on my PC or in the processes. Anyone have a fix?

standard windows 8/8.1 behavior.

windows 8 does a lot of "cheats" to make itself seem faster. one such cheat is it will use all your ram before using the pagefile So yes... the longer your pc is on, the more ram windows 8 will use.

this is design.
