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,

    Doesn't work. Not only that, but what is a windows store app? I don't see one anywhere in Processes. Even when I'm signed into the Windows store, there is no app appearing in my Processes.

    Whatever are you on about?

    Can you change the amount of your Total RAM that's reserved for your GPU (eg, via your BIOS)? If so, then that may increase the RAM that's reserved for your Applications (ie, the App RAM). Then your % Memory Usage should go down.
