Windows 11 suddenly consuming excess RAM with approximately 15 GB unexplained.

Hello everyone, I have observed a significant surge in memory consumption over the past few days, which has caught my attention. Even after having 64 GB of RAM, approximately 15 GB seems to be unaccounted for. This issue became more apparent when a warning from Star Citizen indicated that there was less than 8 GB of free memory available.

 

The memory usage has become so excessive that I had to reboot my computer to manage it effectively. I am speculating if this could be related to the new Windows 11 recording feature, but I am not entirely certain.

 

Does anyone have any insights or suggestions on what might be causing this? Additionally, I am looking for recommendations on software that can help me monitor and identify background processes affecting the memory consumption.
