#Ram idle windows

Most of my codes heavily rely on matrix operations for speed, and the skylake-x i9's are insanely good at those thanks to avx512. I take the raw (or partially-processed) data and try and extract useful information about the subsurface. Processing seismic data for exploration purposes. Honestly I think it does the same thing when she is using Adobe products (she is a graphic designer and photographer so she actually uses them unlike myself who bearly scratches the surface of what they can do) Damn it was frustrating and slowed down everything as the model was forced to read and write from the hard drive. Never reduced its usage to allow the program to use more resources.

Windows never gave it more than the ram that was already free.

#Ram idle software

This software being a large scale simulation uses a couple of gigs basically just being there and can take up much more in execution of certain models.

My wife's computer is an older laptop with limited ram (it has 6 gigs but maxes at 10 if we were to expand it). This is anecdotal and I have not pursued investigating but I had to use my wife's laptop recently for a training/seminar thing I did for work that involved getting to know a new simulation software. Not sure if it was CPU, RAM or Disk usage regarding Windows Defender, but sometimes it will try to scan it's own folder and will be stuck on a loop while doing so, so you might want (not sure if recommended) to add Windows Defender folder as a folder to not search virus from on Windows Defender Settings (don't remember exactly how you do it but I believe that's what made my friend reduce the usage he had).Īnyways, regardless of wanting unused RAM or not, hope I helped someone.Įdit2 Thank you for the platinum kind stranger. If your disk usage is a lot of times at 100% on idle and you find yourself with office installed, stopping the 'ClickToRun' (I believe that is the name, don't yet have office installed to confirm) service while not needing to use office might make the 100% usage to stop. Other (hopefully) fixes that might be helpful: While this is true, to me at least, tips and tricks are also useless so there is no need for me to enable them. Some are saying not to disable this as unused ram is wasted ram. I apologize if this can't be posted here and I apologize if this doesn't work anymore, but hopefully (I think?) it does and it helps someone out.ĮDIT: Woke up and saw I had been gifted gold (my first gold, yey!) and I believe some coins/platinum/premium (I'll still have to check what exactly are those about, not really sure what they are) so thank you a lot gifter! (Don't know if he allows me to say his name so I'll not post it, at least for now). This worked for us at least, and it went from around 40ish% to 20ish% of RAM usage, to which I believe is where it should be at. Search for 'Notifications' and press 'Notifications & actions settings'.ĭisable 'Get tips, tricks, and suggestions as you use Windows' by clicking on it. Press the Window key (usually between CTRL and ALT) or click the start icon. To do so, just follow these simple instructions: The fix was very simple for me: to disable Windows tips and tricks.

Two others did it and I believe they still saw some 'improvement' even if not that great. Both to me, and to a friend who also was asking why he was using so much ram. Quite a few months ago, I found it weird that my laptop was using around 40-50% of my RAM while idle (no application open at all) out of my 8 GB.Īfter searching for a bit I saw a possible fix that made no sense for me as 'why would this work', but indeed it did work. Note: Not sure if this is true for any other Windows besides Windows 10, and not sure if this has been fixed already or not (as I haven't enabled it since then).
