Alright so, I have tried reading many articles, and haven't found the right one. My Ram usage is always high for basically no reason. If I go into Performance tab and go to Memory, 6.4GB out of 8GB is being used

But, if I go to the Users tab, it says im using only 1,361.3MB. I don't get it, im the only user, I dont have much running, and I don't know how to fix it either. Im not sure if its even a memory leak, its annoying, the usage will be at 70% or over when it says im using only a gig or under

Yeah Firefox uses a lot, I have 7 tabs open (Like multi tasking) but even when I close them it still hovers over 60% usage.

Posting a complete list of running processes would probably be helpful Satunity. especially if when you do the screenshots you click on Name to alphabetize them. That would make it easier to read. As it is can only see a sliver of what is running

Some processes will allocate memory, other items are known to memory leak. Suspect the later r/t your Ethernet use visible on the screenshot, but can't see all your processes to rule that out.

You have a memory leak in a driver, most likely the Killer LAN network card. Update the driver and reboot.

Went to device manager, no driver updates were available. So, don't believe its the network card

And for the other guy, here

Device Manager is not a proper way to update drivers in Windows. You must obtain the drivers from the manufacturer's website.

I assure you that this is a known issue.
