    I think it looks fine. It does seem Windows 11 seems to use most of your ram when even doing light tasks, but if you do something more demanding like start a Zoom call and open PDFs for the meeting, it reallocates the ram with the new needs.

      Yep, I have 32 on both laptop and desktop and average usage even with no apps open is 10 GB. But as soon as I start doing memory demanding stuff, like running WSL, VS Code and 4 VMs at the same time (don’t ask), after closing the app and returning to the original conditions the usage is 2-3 GB.

      Some times it frees too much, like that time I accidentally tried to use 45 GB of memory and it let me. Task manager was running of the ssd and the performance of even just moving the mouse tanked, because basically everything OS got moved to the “swap” memory.
