I bought my laptop before going over seas so i wouldn't need to ship my current pc over here. I've recently noticed in some games/programs my ram usage will be at 95-98% while only using about 1-2 gigs

Full specs if anyone wants it.

6th Generation Intel Core i7-6700HQ Processor 2.6GHz (Up to 3.5GHz)
17.3" Full HD (1920 x 1080) widescreen IPS display
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 with 6 GB of dedicated GDDR5 VRAM
16GB DDR4 Memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD
Windows 10 Home

This picture shows what is happening when I'm not running any games or anything really but it' still at 78%.

Thanks

Im no expert, but have you tried ending ALL unimportant programs that consume memory? for example, turn off ShareX, Discord, Express VPN and other demanding unneccesary programs
