my ram usage went down from 40% to 17%, which was around the same levels as when i was using windows 10. thank you so much bro this tutorial worked

Desktop window manager uses so much ram when i upgraded to win 11, any fix on this?

done all this but programs keep randomly opening killing my memory lol im at 70 memory while in desktop doing nothing

I had 16gb's of ram and it was using 10-11 gb's of it. I watched and followed the steps now its 3-5 thanks a lot men. The usage went from %65 to %30 I used to watch a lot these kinds of videos that says "make your pc faster" and none of them actually worked. But this really worked.

Thank you for the tips! It really helped me! Although, it seems the non paged pool memory slowly increases, taking more and more ram, what do you think I should do about it (I would say that I should use the techniques you introduced in this video overtime)

It looks that for me it worked well! After I made these tweeks My memory usage droped from 85-90% to 65-70 at the same circumstamces (RAM 16 GB, Chrome with 15-20 opened tabs, Fusion 360 with moderate project opened).

Thank you! When I was upgrading to Windows 11, I found that it was using more memory compared to windows 10. So, I followed this tutorial and went from 53-75% to 32-51% after applying and restarting. ^^

thank you so much for this. i was having the problems you describe. i have only 8gb ram and it's soldiered on. you have made me a thousand dollars richer (the cost of a new laptop) much much appreciated.

Thanks a lot, I had disabled start up apps already and disk clean up but changing the regedit value and Sysmain really helped, I have 12GB of ram and it was using 10GB of it doing not much at all, almost double what windows 10 was using!

THANK YOU!!! I went from 8gb to 3.2 gb out of 32gb and when i did the command prompt I found out my pc had corrupt files but it was automatically fixed

Thanks for your help. My machine was working fine even though it's a little light on RAM (8GB) under Windows 10. When I upgraded to Windows 11 my memory was running low quite often.

I tried it myself omg thank you so much for these tips the reg editor worked like a charm our family laptop is pretty new and barely had any applications on it but windows 11 was hogging over 80% of the ram now it only uses 50% which is so much better. I just was wondering if you know what changing the "start" value from 2 to 4 actually does?

Thanks the registry editor optimization actually helped lower my ram usage on idle by 2 GB's!

I really needed this. My PC only has 8 GB of RAM, so when I saw it was going up to 6.7, I knew I needed to fix it quick. I thought I had a virus, but your tutorial made me go down to an even lower amount: 3.3-3.7 GB of RAM usage. I appreciate this man, thank you for the helpful video! This will be useful for me in the long run. ^^

thank you so much for this! my ram went down from 50% to 22%, still not the best but its a massive improvement

god I love how you sit through the processes and do it right, thanks I don't know if any of this helped me but thanks. I'm running a game called new world.. and I feel like I'm not using as much vram as I should, or graphics ram.. I looked into some settings and it seemed low. I don't know how to increase the useage. Press Windows key + I to open the Settings app. Head to System > About. Select Advanced system settings. Under Performance, select Settings. Open the Advanced tab. Under Virtual memory, select Change. Here are your Virtual Memory options. I did this, and.. my reccomended was much higher than what is used... how to change? O_o.. Well I don't know the min/max values (32gb ram / 3080 RTX / i9-somethingk )

A suggestion. You’re obviously a pro with windows. For unknowledgeable people like it’s hard to keep up with what you’re doing. I start to follow your video and there seems to be steps missing. I can’t keep up with what you’re doing . Thanks for for your effort. I’m sure it works for a lot of people.

My ram went from 13gb out of 16 used down to 5gb used. Windows 11 was really using my ram when I upgraded, this video helped a TON. Thanks man 😁

Thanks for all you showed us all. I see it really lowered my memory usage !

I like that he waited for the disk defrag to run.

i entrusted you with my pc settings, and u blessed them. god bless you

Thanks a bunch man, I recently bought a new Acer Nitro 17 for gaming. It ran games extremely well but it always irked me that it would have almost 90% ram usage while idle. Your first fix reduced my usage to 46% which is ridiculous 😅. Thanks a bunch man, definitely liking for later.

You my good sir will go down in history as a legend in their own league ! i appreciate the video mate.

Worked, this is one and only vid that has actually helped me with my performance, good shi and thanks

Holy shit. This worked wonders! RAM usage went from 55% idle to 28%. Thanks for the video!

Thank you bro you saved me from having a mental breakdown. I have the ROG Strix RTX4060 Laptop and its keep crashing after 2 month. Turned out that my RAM usage is abnormally high.

Thank you very much! I made the changes in the registry editor (first recommendation in video) and it reduced the excessive memory usage by Desktop Windows Manager by 90%!!! Very kind and helpful of you!!!

Thx. I have 4GB RAM i7 740QM, its so HOT on W11

THANK YOU!! Mine went down to 10% Idk about you guys, but personally for me, that's a LOT of 10% 4/19/2024

Thanks!!! I was suffering, having 80% in Ram without opening anything. Then after doing all of this, only 25%

what exactly does the registry change do? please reply

RAM usage while browsing using Brave went down from 89 to 70. Thank you for the tips!

my ram usage is at 98 for absolutely no reason other than all the processes windows opens itself.

Hey bud i wanna ask That does these tricks you mentioned have side effect?

Thank you! I don't know why, but my RAM has been filling up and I still do not know why. I found this video while searching for a solution and it seems to have fixed my issue. I'm only on the second day in, but so far so good. Just for a bit of background, I have a very high end system with 32GB of DDR5 RAM and just normal PC use having two browsers open and a few other regular programs would fill up my RAM completely within a day. Then my PC would lag and stutter as it tried to figure out what to do with the RAM.

OH MYM GOD IT ACTUALLY WORKED IN LENOVO VANTAGE IT WENT FROM 6 TO 0.47 THANK YOU I CAN PLAY BEAMNG AGAIN

Hi This solution came so fine for me! Thanks a ton!

My ram use 93% when my pc is just open and dont play or watching youtube what i can do?

These tasks did nothing for my RAM but shot my processing utilization up to 100%

i mean its fine mines is still 50 ram usage when i use a browser with 1 tab open but if i play any games like roblox or csgo it goes up to 80 or 100 possibly

I followed all of these steps and Nothing Changed . It is still using 60-65% on startup. I have Lenovo Yoga Duet 7i with 8GB soldered ram.

Thank you so much this actually worked! You definetely have my sub :D

You're a lifesaver! Thank-you so much

you sir are a god amongst men... Thank you!

This was the greatest of help thank you a million

you help me a LOT sir, Thank you so much much much....

Thank you so much for this.

is it normal for my ram & disk usage to go from 90% percent idle to 40% gaming?

Thank you so much! I couldn't figure out why my 8gb of ram was always cooked at 100%, even with nothing open.

I tried so many methods and this did not work ...

hellooo mdtech, just wanted to be assure ... can u explain what the first step actually does to the system which reduces the load?

absolutely stunning that corrupt files were found on this new laptop

boi i aint lying i went from 90% ram usage to 21 . ANd i dont even know how it got that high bruh i have 20 gb

after the last restart it looked like it helped alot, at startup i used to have like 50%+ usage for no reason, and now im down at like 35 steady,

I have 32 gigabytes of RAM, I get windows 11, it idly uses 26 GB of RAM, for a "improved version" of windows, it's pretty dogshit at being light-weight and efficient with managing memory

Everytime I start windows 11 I get around 60-70% of memory usage because I only have 4gb ram. But with this it only uses 50-60% thanksss. Also I suggest also using mem reduct to make it even less ram usage

Works very very well. Thank you, my lenovo gain new life.

wow i do all the step and now my ram use reduce from 11.5gb to 4gb thanks a lot man

omg i have never seen anyone having 1 second bios time can you tell us how you did that

Большое спасибо за полезные советы!

Thanks! It worked

So this reduced my RAM usage; but now none of my apps are working? What could have done this?

I solved my problem on msi board with Ryzen 3400G processor on win 11 it show that i only have 13.9gb ram but instalated 16gb. The problem was fixed by disabling gpu on the processor off course if you have pci gpu.

Great video! Helped me a lot! Thanks

I have an RAM 8gb running 78-89% on idle and opening a single app takes it up to 97%. Im loosing my mind as to what exactly is wrong with it and this video hasnt exactly helped me im still 81% on idle though.. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for the video either way ❤️
