I'm trying to figure out how to prevent my Win 10 (64-bit) server from having its cpu fan constantly spin up and down, so I have been checking Task Manager to see if there was any ramping CPU usage that could explain the behavior, but there isn't. Now I noticed the Memory tab is showing about 70%.
I thought this odd as I have 6GB in the system so I continued to investigate what the hell was eating all the RAM.
The highest user was Desktop Windows Manager. But it was using a paltry 125MB, followed by System and Compressed Memory at 110MB. After those it drops to 24MB for the next program and quickly falls from there. In total doing quick math I don't think they all ad up to even 1GB.
Strange. I right click on the Memory tab, select Resource values, Memory, and change from Values to Percents. It is showing the highest user, Desktop Windows Manager (125MB) as 20%!
What the hell? Based on that I have under 1GB of RAM. I went straight to system properties and it says I have 6GB of RAM. I ran the Windows Memory Diagnostic. No issues detected. I then use Speccy and confirm that my system has 6GB of RAM.
I reboot and my Memory usage drops to about %20. Okay that is good I think so I check the numbers. At the top of the list is Desktop Windows Manager. Currently using 130MB. Change Values to Percent and it shows 5.5%.
So even that is wacked. That would mean I have approximately 2.5GB RAM.
What is going on here?
