Do nothing

>but you need 16gb ram
Why?

There have literally been no changes in anything at all. Graphics in video games look like shit, yet still for some fucking reason they need more ram. Programms for whatever fucking reason also need more ram for shit they have been doing since windows xp.

WHY DOES EVERYTHING NEED MORE RAM IF IT DOESNT RUN FASTER?!

I want to but the fucking jews are taking down all the drivers or arent releasing any at all.

FUCK AND KILL ALL THE JEWS!

Meanwhile windows 7:
Around 1.2GB with drivers, antivirus etc. When playing demanging video games it limits itself to around 900MB-1GB and stays like this until I start opening stuff again after closing the game.
2GB for firefox with 20 tabs open (at least 1 video).

I wonder what sorcery do the 2GB Atom tablets use to make Windows 10 run.

Install GNU/Linux

Could be botnet, could be useless features that don't apply to you but you still have in your software, could be lazy un optimized programs. It's a mix of all.

Your browser for example. You have extensions, adblock no script password managers etc. You add rules to these programs and expect them to run efficiently and be available to you instantaneously all the time. You have to give them more ram.

Idle: 2.9gb
Edge: 3.4 with one tab.
Fuuuuck

unused ram is wasted ram. start actually using your computer for things, THEN you can complain.

why would moving the mouse increase/decrease the ram you absolute brainlet wintoddler shitter

Try installing GNU/Linux

For comparison, right now I'm using 3.2 gig on Gentoo/Cinnamon with two Firefox tabs open. Of course, 1.3 gig of that is used by the ramdisk I'm currently compiling Clang on - not even counting the RAM needed to run GCC and such.

Install ltsc or gentoo user

Loading the slick win98SE and winXP animated cursors, you zoomer.

Use LTSC enterprise

Because it's windows.
Debian 9 is using 1.8 with 18 browser tabs open. 4 would probably be enough for this machine.

I have 8GB and streaming shit on a 1080p TV just fine. Only a few games and photo edit fags need 16gb.

Install Gentoo

Of course you can stream fine on 8gb. HTpcs can use a fucking celeron chip and run just fine.

Do you even understand how RAM works?

stop being a ramlet.

Switch to 7.

Use your computer jackass, unless your are hitting the page file you don't need to worry about RAM
Making WIndows use less RAM will do nothing but make it run worse but the number will be lower to make your autism feel better
All that RAM Windows consumes will be freed up as programs need it

S o ydevs make electron apps

restart cpu from bios maybe?

this. this whole minimalistic mindset got out of control. my windows 10 uses up about 5gb ram when i use several programs and multible firefox tabs and even if my machine had only 8gb it would still be fine.

I have 16GB RAM and Windows 10 uses 3-4GB of it, who the hell cares considering that is still a good 11-12GB left.

more like gay/enuchs

disable windows services
delete or disable some schedules tasks
check your msconfig
control panel>turn windows features on or off
if you have discord, chrome, firefox or other gaymer shit running on the background you deserve it.
also don't assume we use micropajeet
we use linux which takes less than 100mb on idle depending on distro lol

>disable windows services
>delete or disable some schedules tasks
>check your msconfig
>control panel>turn windows features on or off
None of this will actually do anything to make your experience better

RAM that isn't used. Is waisted.

i have 32 :3

can't speak on winjeet 10 but when i used windows 7 it went from 1.5gb on idle to around 500mb, switched everything to classic theme. you're right though it doesn't make winjeet any better because there is no way to disable the botnet.

Install literally any other OS instead.

absolute basedness & truthpilled

Wait, there are retards that actually think XP was as good as modern OSes?

It couldn't find other computers on the network, including ones on the same workgroup. Windows update didn't even have a real interface and you had to restart after every fucking update. It had poor support for multiple audio or video devices. It never cached anything on the hard drive or RAM so programs had to load from scratch every time. The install disc would likely only include drivers for printers, not network adapters that could be used to download printer drivers or any other driver. System restore tool was crude and usually did nothing. Hibernation was buggy (I'm told this might have been fixed in SP3 but never tried it). Searching files on your computer was pretty poor unless you remembered the exact full filename of the file you were looking for. It couldn't burn ISO files even though by far the dominant media of the time was optical.

I mean, I'm just thinking this stuff off the top of my head.

fpbp

That isn't a valid justification tho
The lesser resources your os uses the better

So instead of caching something in RAM to access it more quickly your OS should always pull a file from storage? even if you have an overabundance of RAM?

THIS SO MUCH.

As long as it lies below your RAM limit, Youre operating system is supposed to use as much RAM as possible, and to create as many buffers and caches as possible, in order to increase performance.
DESU, this is a testimony of how advanced Windows 10 is compared to previous editions.

download more ram

XP was good because its competitors were W2K, Windows 98, Vista and Linux.from 10 years ago.

t. boomer mindset.
What was your first OS?

does anyone know what the 2GB of RAM uses up or does?

>not having 32gb of RAM
>not additonally making 10 gb virtual RAM jsut for the lols

using vivaldi with 4 tabs open
uses 4.6GB

>As long as it lies below your RAM limit, Youre operating system is supposed to use as much RAM as possible, and to create as many buffers and caches as possible, in order to increase performance.
This is how almost every modern OS operates, Windows 10 isn't exactly special
Android and macOS work similarly
Literally the only OS that doesn't do RAM caching are tards who disable the shit in linux because they believe "SMALLER NUMBER BETTER"

Half of it is file caching
Files that the OS isn't actively using but are used frequently enough to keep in RAM

This is why.
Programmers can't code for shit anymore. Even their bloatware is bloated code. Copypasted and stacked on top of eachother with no concern for performance because luckily for them hardware manufacturers have been picking up the slack for them for so long they don't even bother

Gentoo doesn't have this problem.

>Windows update didn't even have a real interface and you had to restart after every fucking update.
You still do
>It had poor support for multiple audio or video devices.
Some would argue this still exists
>It never cached anything on the hard drive or RAM so programs had to load from scratch every time.
Didn't know nor notice this. Probably cause shit wasn't as bloated as it is now.
>The install disc would likely only include drivers for printers, not network adapters that could be used to download
Pretty sure you have to download most drivers via internet now still
>System restore tool was crude and usually did nothing.
Honestly every time I try to use system restore it always fails. Never used to fail on older windows
>Hibernation was buggy (I'm told this might have been fixed in SP3 but never tried it).
Honestly look online. This is still a things.
>Searching files on your computer was pretty poor unless you remembered the exact full filename of the file you were looking for.
Thus is actually a God send
>I mean, I'm just thinking this stuff off the top of my head.
Good stuff but win10 is still shit.

Install windows 8.1

Also 8GB installed

Remove ram!
Seriously my mom's computer only got 3GB of ram and windows 10 "only" uses 1.7GB idle.
Now seriously, stop using winshit and install the Gnu/Linux operating system.

The very first was probably symbian on an old nokia phone, the first on pc was probably windows xp

You know what to do. It's time to leave the botnet.

>You still do
No you don't. I haven't had to restart from an update since I installed a new kernel and wanted to use it.
>Some would argue this still exists
Not an argument. It's also not true. XP by default could not output from two video devices at the same time.
>Pretty sure you have to download most drivers via internet now still
You missed the point, not an argument. The point is including network drivers is functionally a better decision than including printer drivers.
>Honestly every time I try to use system restore it always fails. Never used to fail on older windows
Not true, there are no instances of older system restore succeeding when the newer systems fail. XP never did things like save old files required for old configurations to run. Vista and later do.
>Honestly look online. This is still a things.
Not true. Did you know Win10 and 8 don't have a real shutdown button? When you press shutdown, it does a hybrid hibernate shutdown while saving important parts of RAM to disk before powering down. If hibernation was still buggy then this system would fail left and right.

>Good stuff but win10 is still shit.
True but I'm not talking about Win10 specifically for the most part, I'm talking about modern operating systems. The idea that features are just bloat instead of them getting better and therefor becoming more demanding isn't really true. That said, Win10 is probably just keeping commonly used programs in OP's RAM and that's all he's complaining about.

Disable prefetch if you care about it that much you fucking retard.

Windows 2000 was great, and during 2000's lifespan XP was shit. By the time XP SP2 came out it was okay to switch, mostly because support was ended.

>O&O ShutUp10 which deactivates all the spy software on windows 10.

You don't actually believe this do you?

Just disable superprefetch

Don't know if this will decrease ram usage but open task manager find task called explorer.exe close it, then file>run explorer, enter. It usually speeds up running of win 10 no cleaners needed.

>I'm stupid and angry so it's the jews fault
Every time

since this is relatively related

my "friend" convinced me to install windows 10 from windows 7 since i built a new PC, mostly for gaming. i thought id have less bullshit with LTSB, but thats come up with it's own problem of not being able to use the windows store, which some games depend on, apparently.

outside of that, I've had trouble with directories defaulting to read-only, and not changing when i deselect that from properties. using CMD, i was able to get around that with "[directory] -r +s" for the C: drive, but not the external drive.

in regard to the latter, my "friend's" opinion was that I probably fucked up the OS using WPD. I'm more inclined to believe it has something to do with LTSB or windows 10 just being shit.

so, do any of you know why ive faced the probelm of read-only directories being unchangeable, and if it is related to LTSB, could you direct me to a link with windows 10 pro and activation

>Graphics in video games look like shit, yet still for some fucking reason they need more ram
for some, AI and related shit, for most, poor optimization as hardware has become cheaper, and they focus on console releases while PC is relegated to an afterthought port

install ltsc

>but you need 16gb ram

Because pajeet and changs keep producing bloated software.At this rate we are gonna see hello world programs and calculators needing 4gigs just to run.

pls help

Zoomers

don't

understand

how

memory

works

We aint tech support but I'lll help you out. Don't use LTSB if you don't know how to use it. It obviously doesn't have Windows Store, which you can manually add back in, or just stick to the normal branch of Windows. Also don't use Windows 10 debloaters, spy blockers, scripts or any of that shit if you don't know what the fuck you're doing.

If you want Windows 10, just get it from Microsoft. Don't go to the pirate bay, don't get it from random sites by Googling either.

a fresh install of lubuntu or xubuntu will only eat around 400mb ram (give or take 50mb) on startup. install one of those. or literally any distro that allows to use lxqt/de or xfce. you will not be getting the resource savings you're looking for on win 10.

>I already use O&O ShutUp10 which deactivates all the spy software on windows 10.
it never did

Attached: Altair.jpg (533x800, 285K)

i tried adding it back in and it didnt work anyway, maybe(probably) because i didnt understand the role of the whatever xbox shit was optional. WPD's UI is straightforward as fuck, is there some shit behind the scenes that could potentially fuck something up on the user end? and finally, downloading directly from microsoft is just as crackable as anywhere else?

when it's a small amount of ram, like 4-8 GB, and it's coupled with HDD and a pagefile on that same disk, it's very easy for programs to quickly fill up that ram, increasing memory pressure, which leads to system trying to free up memory (and it's not good at this), unload cache, other processes, as a result writing to disk and also paging to disk, overall resulting in a degraded, sluggish performance
this is a fucking awful tactic when you don't have enough resources to cache everything and keep at least some of it in memory when computer is in actual use
at best you're just continuously loading and unloading, wasting time and io, pointlessly, without any real benefit, but quickly enough so that it doesn't affect performance, at worst, you're holding everything up and just make it worse

Buy more fucking RAM and install them into your PC
