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,

    while that may be the case on integrated GPUs , if you disable integrated GPU, the dedicated one still uses some. shared GPU memory

    But is there a way (eg, via your BIOS) that you can reduce the amount of Total RAM that's reserved for your GPU? If you can, then the RAM reserved for your Applications (ie, the App RAM) should increase.

    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.
