    You can guarantee it? Are you a Microsoft Windows developer? In that case, I’d like to fill in a bug report.

    When I turn my machine on, without me doing anything at all, task manager would display >20GiB used. I don’t have many applications to run at startup. At most iCUE (Corsair keyboard drivers). I don’t think iCUE is using 20GiB if RAM.

    Then, I open 2-3 vscode instances. Each instance launches its own rust-analyzer, since I’m looking at 3 rust projects simultaneously.

    Each rust-analyzer instance uses ~3GiB of RAM.

    That is enough to reach 100% ram usage and the computer becomes noticeably slower, even if CPU usage is at 7%.

    Tell me, Microsoft Windows developer. Why does my machine grind to a halt when I use ~10GiB of RAM, if win11 says that the recommended amount is 16GiB and I have 32? 10+16 = 26. I should have a minimum of 6GiB left. The math ain’t mathing.

      Have you tried using the windows debloat tool to get rid of all the AI and garbage that Win11 comes pre-installed with? Might help with the excessive RAM usage on startup.

        Not only are you a Microsoft developer. Are you also a maths PhD? I thought I was using maths of a level I’m comfortable with. Mainly addition, abstraction, and multiplication if real numbers.

        Perhaps I’ve committed a grave mistake. Please show me where my mistake is.

          You are funny, but no, it’s just unnecessary.
          Using appropriate tools, such as the aforementioned process explorer, will help you avoid any guesswork.
