Advice Request What is the idle memory usage of your system after boot-up?

[jackuars]

Just curious, what is the memory usage on your desktop ideally 2-3 minutes after boot-up when idle, and not running any additional tasks, other than the boot-up ones.

I have Kaspersky, OSArmor, SETrayMenu & Simplewall in the background to run on startup and it comes to 21-22% of RAM usage. This is probably the minimum RAM usage on my system.

20% of x GB of total RAM?

I have 16 Gb ram with ryzen 5 3600. My idle usage is about 20 to 22%.

1,5-1,8GB is just the regular memory usage I think. Probably more if you enable a lot of autostart.
After a system restore I could achieve 1,6 gb of memory usage. which is 19-20%.

If I have a choice I would keep most of my apps in memory, so that I don't have to wait for it. I think you don't have to worry about memory usage these days. Gone are the days when you had just 512 Mb memory to play with. (My first computer in 2000, an amd K6 550 which if I remember correctly had 128 Mb of ram)

1,27 GB (4GB used by RAMdisk) - 46 processes (excluding task managers)

I agree. And that's the point where a program like PrimoCache comes in. It keeps my system in all conditions blazing fast and saves about 25% till 60% write cycles to the SSD. Averagely there is only 4 GB free of the16 GB memory.

31% with 16GB RAM

26-27% (RAM: 2,1/7,9 GB)

Windows 10 Pro: 2.0-2.5GB (the later only with normal shutdown/hibernation) out of 16GB

8gb ram/20%

Maybe a new thread would be nice which include also all running process in background (non-windows ones).

Of course even then their are difference, e.g. i use application guard / hyper-v which use memory even in background but i guess the adding information would be a better reference then only percentage

Man, F-secure is light.

Looks like a good idea.

Hello,
Here's mine, 13 % / 16GB after reboot.

 

[Evjl's Rain]

this is mine. 11% of 8GB (0.9GB)
Only 5 programs run on boot: Wisevector, Sunsetscreen Unikey, classicstart menu, sticky notes

Looks like 8% here Ryzen 3 - 32 GIG RAM...
