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)

[@baffled_hawk]

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

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.

[@misbahjaved4011]

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

[@Johnnyb167]

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?

yeah im afraid to change the value in case something happens, any updates???

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 )

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.
