With only background programs running why is the usage so high?

I am forced to restart my computer a few times in order to do anything, as trying to play a game with it this high maxes it out to 100% as soon as the game opens.

How much RAM capacity do you have?

You could try disabling Superfetch. Here is a little guide:

Windows 10 has been having memory dramas for sometime now that should have been addressed in the major update due to it's way of compression. Still there are various reasons why it can still happen from malware, drivers and Networking.

If you have a killer nic on your motherboard, search killer nic memory leak as reference if you do have this network adapter.

Last post, op solved it him self by entering this command running msconfig in administrator to stop Windows Network Data Usage Monitoring Driver.

sc config NDU start= disabled

See if it helps, its not certain this is the problem but theres a lot of win10 memory leak posts most eventually pointing to networking drivers/services.

Can you tell us more about your computer. A system properties screen capture would help, but cpu-z screens would be even better.
