My system is Ideapad Gaming 3 16IAH7 with 16 GB RAM.
After a clean reinstall, my virtual memory usage has been higher by at least 10-20% despite not only having the same amount of processes but even a little fewer. The reason for my clean reinstall was due to the poor and inconsistent performance, something which seems to be no longer the case. I wish to know if the reason for higher virtual memory usage is the cost of performance being better now.

2023-10-24T08:10:10+00:00 I am glad you have found a solution to this, it is strange that Chrome hardware acceleration would cause this.

2023-10-24T08:05:51+00:00 Soo it did not work exactly, yet I did managed to find out a one reason why the virtual memory usage was high, chrome hardware acceleration. When I turned it off and started a new with exact same set up as before, the virtual memory usage slowly went down to 45% yet afterward it slowly started climbing up once more before I enabled hardware acceleration once more, now with it on virtual memory usage generally stays at 50-55%.
