Hi,
-->http://www.noelshack.com/2017-36-7-1505069321-sans-titre1.jpg<--
As you can see, all the programs + system running is only using about 300mo of memory, but I got 7go of ram used, so w10 is lagging.
Thanks :)

I think I see the problem. There is an issue with the Killer NIC software (a huge memory leak). It appears to be the network manager portion of it.

Go here and get the latest LAN driver for windows 10 x64 https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B150-GAMING-M3#down-driver . The one at the very bottom "driver only" version. However this must be installed manually. Once you have the INF file you can use this guide to install it: https://www.killernetworking.com/driver-downloads/knowledge-base?view=topic&id=4

Make sure to remove the network manager and current driver before installing the new driver.

can't access the picture here...

your filling up your memory? try rebooting?

clean up your start menu by turning off start up programs? run: msconfig
run cleaning programs like ccleaner/ wisecare365
malwarebytes scan
antivirus scan
rootkit scans
defrag

are you downloading microsoft updates in the background?

@SinxarKnights Yes, it does fill up slowly again, and I have a MSI b150 gaming M3.

I already turned off start up programs and some services. Ccleaner and antivirus did nothing, but I'll try again right now. Defrag did 2 days ago. I'm only running steam in background, wich is using about 60mo.

BTW, I upgraded from w8 to w10 about 5 days ago.

kind of strange....

I'd look in the Event viewer to see if your pushing a lot of errors... then google them to see if any guides to fixing.... some are deep registry fixes for no real gain.. so don't do anything if its not needed.

try booting up without internet connection?

might be some memory settings you can try....

the other idea is to reinstall some drivers but with compatibility settings to windows 8..... or atleast going to your motherboard website and installing those ...and if they are not windows 10 drivers install them with windows 8 compatibility settings.---assuming they are windows 8 drivers.
