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?

    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.
