I've been having an issue over the past few months where my RAM usage will be insanely high even with no applications open. During a fresh boot, it will start at about 40% and over the next couple days (even though I'm shutting down my computer when not using) the idle usage will slowly increase until its basically at 100% which will cause my computer to freeze. The only way to clear the cache is to use the reset button. A proper shutdown will not fix the issue.
I'm running Windows 10, and have 8 gb of RAM. I've had this PC for years and haven't had any issues until recently. I have not found anything through virus scanning. Anyone have any ideas what the problem could be?
Linked is a picture of my resource monitor with no other applications open. The most demanding background application is only ~200 mb and wont all add up to more than about 500 mb
