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,

    The solution for my problem was to turn off Microsoft defender (MicrosoftSecurityApp.exe) and installed Bitdefender. Problem solved! You can shut off MicrosoftSecurityApp.exe in Task Manager. Hope this helps!

    With last window's update either KB5027119 or KB5027231, I don't have anymore the problem.
    Do someone knows exactly where it came from ? Because it's not clear in the release notes...

    What all of you fail to understand is that unused RAM = wasted RAM...

    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.
