On a Windows 10 VM set to 2 GB of RAM, Windows idles at about 1.1 GB.
On a 16 GB Windows it uses about 7.5 GB. All of that seems to swap out or go away somewhere if I get busy with Visual Studio.
On a 64 GB Windows it seems to idle at about 9.6 GB used. Of course, this one isn't a purely work machine and has Steam, Origin, Ubisoft's thing, etc, etc.
So Windows 10 is pretty variable. I imagine it has something to do with running various services in parallel.
- mehrdadn 7y agoWhat quantity are you measuring that's 7.5 GB... and what else do you have on that machine? I quit Chrome on my current machine which has a bunch of other stuff and has no less RAM than yours, and even then I was left with <4GB of anything I could regard as usage. It can't possibly be just Windows itself idling at 7.5 GB?
- giancarlostoro 7y agoExcept my system has 16GB and it idles at 4GB. My old system with 8GB idles at 4GB even my system at home with 16GB idles at 4GB. I dont understand why it would idle at 8GB.
