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,

    Hi,

    I've got the same issue one a relatively fresh installed maschine.

    As you can see in the screenshot: (Screenshots were taken directly after booting with Chrome open)

    https://prnt.sc/inEp_62LBVfz https://prnt.sc/fxehkhYkJU3Y 32GB RAM

    i9 13900KF

    etc.

    and I'm not able to watch a video and start a VM with 4GB RAM at the same time because my PC starts to stutter..

    Same problem here, 16GB laptop, Windows 11, memory usage is above >50% after restart.

    Even summing up all the processes in Task Manager doesn't add up anywhere close to 50%

    On board GPU disabled in BIOS in favor of the discrete GPU.

    I have the same problem, and cannot find a way to solve it.

    Few processes open but i see much more memory used than the amout they occupy.

    Can we have a solution?

    I did install the March update, and still have the problem. I also have Docker Desktop and a couple other programs running at startup. I don't think it's a memory leak because the high memory usage is there right after a reboot.
