High ram usage while idle on a windows 11 pc

Just like the title goes, my laptop gets about 50~60 ram usage while idle, even though it has 16 gigs of ram. Tried checking with the task manager doesn't seem to spot anything going on. Also, I've tried fixing the registry, disabling startup applications, defragmenting drives, turning off Sysmain, as said on the Internet, but they all didn't change anything. Is there any way to fix this while not clean installing windows again?

My laptop is currently on Windows 11 build 22000,

    What is your RAM size?

    Looks like your antivirus takes more cpu and ram resources than average. Windows defender is pretty good on win11 + Malwarebytes use to be fine.

    You can also terminate unnecesary chrome processes by opening it and shift + esc to launch it's task manager (also disable all extensions until u have to use them).

    If you don't use windows start feed you can disable it and then terminate Windows Widgets on task manager.

    For further optimization type "fix high ram usage" on several search engines and take your time to research more solutions.
