    High idle ram usage right from start. fresh windows installation


    Hello

    Ive upgraded my system with new motherboard, cpu, ssd, ddr4 and psu. installed windows again but it seems to use fairly high amount of ram even if everything is disabled from msconfig (except the avast antivirus) as it didnt get disabled even if marked.

    with all currently installed programs are enabled the ram usage is 6.8gb/16gb and with all disabled is shown on the picture that ive attached.

    If i remember right, when the windows was just first time started the ram usage was much lower. but after installing the programs that i had before and will need, it raised quite alot. But i cant seem to add up where all those gb's are used.

    heres picture with all disabled in msconfig startup programs. i also had the onboard soundcard disabled for testing, no effect. still was 6gb/§6gb used

    But now as i had to restart second time to turn all programs on again (only makes 1.5gb difference to usage) the ram seems to be at fine level now 2.66gb/16gb. all i did was the same as i was doing yesterday, disable and enable all, disable / enable onboard soundcard.

    I bet this didnt yet disappear, so if u guys can find anything or explain whats happening i would appreciate it alot :)

    Yeh the Finnish windows language is bit a problem, but all shud be in same place as in english version. I can understand all the help whats in english, no need to translate :P

    Hi,
    Most high ram usage has been the windows 10 updates GWX.exe which it doesn't seem to be your problem but have you loaded all of them ?
    You can check out this list and see,
    Only one update here is not related to 10,

    checked the listed updates

    KB3068708
    KB2952664
    KB3035583
    KB971033
    KB3021917
    KB3075249
    KB3080149

    are installed.

    The pc still seem to run just fine after several reboots. But if the high RAM usage start again i should remove these updates listed?
    Does this effect to future win10 installation in any way?
