Hi guys,

Just got a new rig with the 16 GB RAM. After some weeks I noticed that RAM usage can be quite high like >80%. On some occasions my active programs got shut down due to insufficient memory.

I have gone through the msconfig startup list and disabled some programs. But would just like to seek some advice whether there are some Windows 10 settings I can tweak.

Thanks!

You can check which program is using a lot of memory by right click on start > task manager > detail.
