I have not had any problems with this PC since it is a fairly recent build, however recently I have noticed excessive memory usage. I have 16GB of RAM in this computer which should have no problem running most applications, but there seems to be something taking up over 12GB of RAM at all times (as soon as the computer is booted up). Task manager is providing no information as to what it is, so I can only guess it is some kind of memory leak.
Here is some more information about my computer:
GeForce GTX 1070
Intel(R) Core(TM) I5-6600K CPU @ 3.50GHz
16 GM RAM
Windows 10 Home Version 10.0.16299 Build 16299
Attached you will find images of my task manager while the problem is occurring, at first I assumed the problem was caused by the Anti-malware Service Executable from windows defender, but I no longer believe that is the issue.
