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,

Of course the OS will try to make use of what's available, it's just a good thing. The OS will automatically manage the memory for you. As long as applications are stable and everything runs smoothly, there is nothing to worry about.
