    RAM 40% When nothing is running


    My Laptop has only 2GB of RAM
    My Laptop's running wierd lately , RAM just kept going high
    I've searched all ways to decrease memory usage
    some of them are :
    - Cleaning Registry and Temporary files using CCleaner
    - Disabling some startup programs
    - Uninstalling Unecessary softwares

    Now there's nothing running on my taskbar except for Intel Graphics Driver
    And Yet , when I gone to the task manager it puts me up with a 800 MB , thats 40% memory usage , turning into 75% opening Chrome
    Is this the way it was supposed to be?
    There are a suspicious Process running on the task manager , the ones in the name of csrss.exe with no description , and the Internet believes that this can potentially be a Trojan

    Please Help , Any solutions would be awesome

    40% RAM usage is normal, at least on my PC

    Open Task manager --> Processes tab and check the list of processes running in the background.
    Some process is eating up your RAM.

    -Which Antivirus are you using?

    hmm........
    How about disabling MalwareBytes and checking the memory usage.
    That could possibly be the reason.
    Turning off Aero might also help.

    So what - you cannot save the other 60% or more for a rainy day. The more RAM the system uses, the better it is,

    Open the Resource Monitor > Memory tab. That gives you a good picture. See picture below as an example.
