High Ram Usage

It seems to be using a lot of ram when even idleing. And when I open a game it uses 5 and sometimes even 6Gigs plus of ram and right now even with just chrome open it's using ~4 and on idle it uses 3... Any way I can diagnose this or fix it??

There is nothing to fix. This is normal behavior if you are using a normal HDD as your system disk.

I never reached 6Gigs of ram usage at all even when I was using windows 8.1. It has never been this high

But this isn't 8.1 though. It is just loading up memory with stuff it thinks you will need so applications load faster.

Looking at the list of programs it looks like some are set to begin at startup. You can disable them at startup it looks like Utorrent, Winamp, Anti Malwarebytes . Looks like you are gamer that uses Steam.

I have a pretty minimal startup and sit at ~3.8GB of ram when idle, this is a little high, but still in the range of 'totally normal'.
The trick with win10 is that it has excellent memory management, meaning that it is pre-loading a bunch of stuff in the background that you may not need right this moment so that if you use those features then it goes very quickly. However, if you start running low on RAM, or have a limited amount to RAM to work with in the first place, it scales very nicely and will free up resources as needed.

You paid all of that money for that RAM, might as well put it to good use rather than sitting idle forever. Keep an eye on it, but I would not mess with it unless you are having genuine performance issues that may be RAM related.

That is normal for Chrome.

I had 3 sessions of chrome running and closed 2 and it went from 57% to 47% memory usage,

Disk fragmentation problems could slow it down. Download the free version of defraggler and perform a full defragmentation of your hard drive/s (Do not do this if you have an SSD)

Viruses can also cause this. You already have malwarebytes so run a full virus scan in safe mode with networking to rule the viruses out being the cause of that high usage
