>Task Manager is doing the right thing here
I had a problem on my windows 10 pc for a long time, where I would clearly be running out of ram, task manager would show 100% usage, everything getting slow. However if I added up all of the processes using ram, it was nowhere close.
So something was using up ram that task manager gave me no visibility into. I had to download obscure tools and do some guesswork to figure it out. It would have been really nice if Task Manager could just report it in the first place (it turned out to be a network card driver with a memory leak in it)

Best tool I've seen to start finding where it's going is RAMmap [1]. 1. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/rammap https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/ramm...
