As the title says, my memory usage is really high with nothing intensive running, I had just finished playing gta V whenever I noticed this issue. Its stuck at about 70% I have 16 gb's of ram. Here is an image showing of what my memory is at, showing there is nothing.

My Specs:
Cpu: I7 4790k 4.0 Ghz
Gpu: Evga Geforce 970
Ram: 16 gb

I will also try a scan to make sure its not a virus.

Corruption in Windows 10 which is also dubbed as a memory leak. If this installation is via the free upgrade path then reinstall it using a bootable USB installer and if this anew then recreate the installer and reinstall. If the issue cropped up after a mandatory windows update took place then try and perform a system restore or a repair install but prior to that please back up your critical data onto an external storage device.

have you made sure your BIOS is up to date? Speaking of up to date, you didn't include the motherboard in your specs list.
