Dear people,
I've already read quite a few posts about high ram usage in W8.1 but can't really locate why mine is this high. I just rebooted my brand new laptop (thinkpad E550 with samsung evo 840 SSD. should have 4gb ram). then all I opened was task managar and I was already at quite a high ram. now with only 2 chrome tabs and task manager I get 52% memory already.
here is a screenshot: http://i61.tinypic.com/2yw901f.png
when I ran hearthstone aswell I skyrocketed to about 80% ram usage. I am planning on deleting norton anyways, but is that really the biggest culprit? even windows explorer was giving quite a high percentage.
Quick edit to my question: could this also be the bloatware lenovo dropped on this laptop? it doesnt show any lenovo related processes in the task manager list. I also find it odd that with this many 30 something mb processes it uses 55% of memory?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
