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,

    100% it's fishy, are they hiding processes from the PC admins?

    A.I. dumping you details to the cloud?

    There are now folders on the PC that admins are not permitted to access.
    That's right, your PC, your disk, but you can't go into certain places.
    Why would that be?
    Something to hide?

    I think it has always been this way to prevent malware from hacking/corrupting the system (this is very complicated, and it goes back to at least windows 7). However, I do understand your concern. Though I doubt they would go this far to hide anything. There are plenty of services that are called telemetry that you can easily find.

    Hi Guys,

    I'm facing the same issue with a fresh installed Windows 11...

    22GB of RAM is utilized out of 32GB on idle with all services (except for MS services) disabled and no other applications running.

    As far as I can see there is no solution at this point ?
