Most of the applications are running background, even if you are not using those applications currently.
From the figure, I found many unwanted applications are installed as a bundled software.
So uninstall very rarely used applications..

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,
