Physical Memory running absurdly high. How can I fix or clean up?

After a clean install, when I first turn on my computer my physical memory is running at 50%+ and I always have 80+ processes. When I play games, such as World of Warcraft, physical memory goes to 80% or more. I've had this laptop for years, and this problem has only started recently. See attached photos, and please let me know if I need to add anything. Appreciate the help :)

Note: When I have no programs running and try to restart or shut down the computer, it prompts me to wait for programs to close, etc. Malwarebytes shows no malware.

Run msconfig.

Services tab: how many non-Microsoft services running? I've got 8.

Startup tab: how many items checked? I've got 9. Windows will run fine with none checked.

21 services: AMD, apple, intel, mcafee, malwarebytes, and 23 startup. Can i uncheck all the startup?

McAfee and Malwarebytes are both paid programs, which i use every few days.The AMD is referenced to HD audio, Apple is for bonjour maybe?, there is an oasis2service or something that is unknown and I have no idea what it was. For more in depth info I will have to wait until after work to check it out. I will take SS of everything is check and if you have the time could you help me weed out the junk? Love the fast and helpful advice on this forum so far. Thanks a bunch!

You could do this:

Uncheck everything except anti-virus and Malwarebytes in msconfig startup tab. See if that has a negative or positive impact. If you later have problems, you can always go back and recheck items.

Stop all non-Microsoft services and see if the world remains on its axis and you can do what you need to do when you want to do it with your PC. If you can't, go back and restart some of the services you stopped.

But I'd immediately see if making these changes helps. Maybe it won't.

Your pictures show that you have almost 2 GB of available RAM, so it's not like you are running low.

McAfee isn't the sharpest tool in the drawer for anti-virus and can be difficult to tame or eliminate entirely. If nothing else, I'd look to replace it.

You show 96 processes. I have 55 right now.

Yea it's at 40% when I do nothing. If I open a game it shoots to 78% + that's the killer

What is the best antivirus malware safety net program available?

since you made a clean installation, you can try re-seating your RAM physically, erase the copper part using a pencil eraser until it shines (p.s be gentle on doing that). This works every time for me.
