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

    I am in the same situation.
    A lot of Ram used even in Idle.

    Even for me the Shared GPU RAM show something similar and even in my case it's an Intel Iris Xe Graphics. On the other PC with windows 11 and no Iris I do not notice the same issue. Could it be something related to particular hardware configuration?

    I am on Windows 11 Pro 22631.

    Waiting for some fix.
