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,

    as I wrote - try this:

    Update.

    Were NOT fixed by boot settings \ auloaders \ services \ etc

    Fixed to 25..30% after: disable Fast Startup on Windows 11

    Alternatively, open Command Prompt (admin) and run the “powercfg /h off” command to disable Windows 11 Fast Startup.

    (and reboot)

    fast boot is on in windows 11.

    when shut down and then start windows 11, or reboot windows, it will resume last state when fast boot is on.

    So if memory usage was high in last state, your memory usage will still be high even if you reboot and with almost no app opened.

    search online on how to turn off fast boot.

    with fast boot off, you can allievate high memory usage situation by reboot.

    but there is definitely a bug in windows 11 thats causing memory leak continuously. unfortunately, we can't fix it by using other diagnose apps, such as RAMmap. We can only go around it.
