Hi all - I just realized that my computer is using most of my RAM which is 16 GB and it seems to be on nothing.

I'd have - what? Google Chrome with a few tabs open, Skype, Discord, DisplayFusion on and it makes no sense for it to be using so much RAM.

I do have dual monitors, so, I'm not sure if that's causing my RAM to be consumed or? Thing is - this high RAM usage starts immediately once I start my computer - it isn't even after some time, so, I'm just wondering, what the hell is eating all of my RAM?

Here are some screenshots.

Intel Core i5-4570 CPU @ 3.20GHz. It's an old motherboard, honestly.

I did what the link you posted said to do and it fixed itself, so, yeah, it was a memory leak, lol. Thank you so much for your help! It's fixed now and is at a safe 26% instead of a 95%.
