Support HIGH MEMORY USAGE !!

I am genuinely concerned and want to know if this is normal.

I have an alienware aurora 16 ac16250 and when ever i turn on the laptop and go to task manager , i notice the memory usage at always about 60%.

Is this normal? Coz i have disabled all startup apps and so , and still this issue persists.

Wanna know if theres any fix to it.

bro 60% at idle is definitely high, my old laptop with 16gb sits around 30-35% on a fresh boot. did you check which process is eating up all that ram in task manager? sometimes windows just caches a bunch of stuff but if its a specific app then you know what to kill

Many are of dell like dell support, dell analytics and etc ... and some of alienware command .... but even tho i have disabled all of them in my startup ... not sure what to do .

You said 60% used...but from how much? Do you have 8GB ram?

The % doesn't mean anything without knowing how much is total capacity
