Solved Excessive Memory usage than the process manager shows.

[dxbladexd]

Need to deal with the excessive memory usage on my desktop. As you can see on the screenshots the total memory usage doesnt add up. What I dont understand is that is it being used as memory cache or is it cause of any adware or malware? The antivirus softwares and the protective softwares I have does not detect the fault. And I got advised that it might be RAM damping or something. So really need help on this.

Have a look into Resource Monitor > Memory tab. That will tell you exactly which process uses what.

Btw: your snips do not show. Use the paperclip to attach them.

The memory usage column shown in Task Manager will never add up to total usage. It was never intended that it would. The "Memory (Private Working Set)" column does not show full process usage which may be considerably higher. There are also major users of memory that are not processes, most of which Task Manager will tell you nothing about.

Adding up the memory usage column rarely provides meaningful results. This only leads to confusion unless you really understand what is going on and that is anything but simple. You can't account for memory usage in a modern OS with simple math.

Post a screenshot of Task manager - Performance tab so we can see what is happening.

sorry for the screenshots here you go.

There is nothing unusual. No need to save the RAM for a rainy day. The more RAM the system uses, the faster it runs.

Then should I use the memory usage to what percentage? If I cross the 85% limit I experience a really bad case of FPS drops.

There is no standard rule. All depends on what is running.

... and IOBit software really isn't the best to use for fault-finding. (in fact it's probably one of the worst, and more likely to create errors than fix them!)

Use the built-in Windows tools where possible.

well I didnt find any difference between the task managers memory usage details and the Iobits one.

 

[NoelDP]

That is no surprise, since as far as I am aware, the IOBits one is a pure ripoff of the Windows one.
PLEASE uninstall that POS!

NoelDP is correct. IOBits software is trouble.

The IOBit website provides no contact information other than a web based form. That in itself is cause for concern. The company is based in China.

IOBit has been involved in some questionable business practices. There is strong evidence they stole the intellectual property of Malwarebytes, a highly respected security company:

Most experienced members of this forum do not use or recommend IOBit software.

Wow well do you have any other software recommendations?

Well then I would really love a software recommendation similar to Advanced Systemcare.

Basic piece of advice ...

Don't look for a "silver Bullet" solution to system monitoring on windows 7, whilst the design of older operating systems such as XP may have "needed" a bit of help in optimising it's operation Windows 7, and Later, does not - The built in automatic functionality will perform better when left alone, after all it was written by the same people who wrote the OS .

The Tweaks Industry that grew up around XP has a problem in that they are no longer needed for a modern OS - they will tell you that they are still required, but this is not so. leve windows to it's own resources and It will run fine.

If you do want to learn about the OS at a deeper level and maybe correct shortcomings in some older 3rd party software that is not designed as well as Windows 7 stake a look at the Sysinternals Suite from microsoft themselves, but be aware that this does not have a fancy "bells and Whistles Front end" designed to catch users. What it does have is a suite of applications and full documentation

Windows Sysinternals: Documentation, downloads and additional resources

   Warning

This suite can be potentially dangerous, if used without care, so always fully read the documentation

Ok, but I just wanted a software which will take care of my junks at once rather than me have to go through all of my browsers, registry entries and temporary files and stuffs and removing the not needed one. It really takes a lots of time. For example, after installing a particular software the bits and pieces of its registry entry remains right?
