According to Pavan Davuluri, head of the Windows department, just because Task Manager shows RAM usage between 70% and 90% does not mean the computer is lacking memory. Microsoft explains that the operating system keeps applications and necessary data in free RAM to speed up response. When another application requests a resource, the system automatically returns that memory.

Davuluri compares RAM to a desk top and an SSD to a drawer. It will take longer to retrieve data from a drawer (hard drive) than from a desktop (RAM). Therefore, keeping more data in RAM helps the computer run smoother. The important criterion for evaluating performance is that the computer maintains good responsiveness, not based on the amount of available RAM.

On virtual machines running Windows 11 26H2, the editorial team tested 4GB, 8GB and 16GB RAM configurations. The results show that the amount of RAM used increases when the memory capacity is larger. With the 16GB configuration, the system uses 3.7GB of RAM, 1.3GB higher than the 4GB configuration. Windows also applies new customizations on 8GB machines to keep up to 2GB of active data in RAM, helping to reduce the number of application reloads.

Users only need to worry when the Available index in Task Manager is close to 0, compressed memory continuously increases and committed memory approaches the total limit of RAM and page file. In this case, the system may freeze or crash. RAM cleaning software usually only clears the standby memory and does not really solve the bottleneck problem.LikeLikeDislikeLike0LikeLikeDislikeDislike07Log in once, feel free to comment (^ 3^)Various fluctuations in an hour4GB of ram but persistently win 11nnkjsc33 minutes to leave empty ram for what?ninastorm30 minutes

That's right, RAM is for use, not for looking at free space nghaimin29 min Actually, a lot of empty RAM is not a good thing, because electricity is still consumed while the needed data is not loaded soon. On the phone, when the phone is turned on, RAM is already more than 60%. The important thing is that the amount of RAM is enough for your needs, not just seeing the more empty % the better.

How much ram do you use?khanhduy.39n6 minmacos ram 16 or 32 is always nearly full 😆, only when restarting the computer will it go down, but then it will go back up again
