showing 159 GB memory used but the individual apps do NOT add up to anywhere near that amount

To help narrow down the issue:
- Is the 159 GB shown in “Task Manager” or under “Settings” > “System” > “Storage”?
- Are you using Windows 11, Windows 365 Cloud PC, or Microsoft 365 apps?
- How much installed RAM and total drive space does the PC have?
Please share a screenshot of the page showing the 159 GB usage, but hide any personal information. Thanks!
