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,

    Hi,

    I've got the same issue one a relatively fresh installed maschine.

    As you can see in the screenshot: (Screenshots were taken directly after booting with Chrome open)

    https://prnt.sc/inEp_62LBVfz https://prnt.sc/fxehkhYkJU3Y 32GB RAM

    i9 13900KF

    etc.

    and I'm not able to watch a video and start a VM with 4GB RAM at the same time because my PC starts to stutter..

    When looking at the Resource Monitor where is it showing most of the memory usage?

    Same issue on a new Surface Laptop.

    Very high heat output, fan noise and memory consumption - with no programs visible in task manager that I can attribute the issue to.

    Machine is essentially only being used for Slack, Teams and a Web Browser with less than 10-tabs. Only 1.5Gb of RAM usage can be accounted for of the nearly 10GB currently being used.

    I understand your points, we must find the root cause of the high memory usage applications or services.
