Is the memory usage of Windows Explorer within a normal range?

Hello,

Lately, I've observed that Windows Explorer seems to be consuming a significant amount of RAM. It appears that the usage keeps increasing after it's opened, and even after a while, it doesn't decrease. At times, I've seen it surpassing the 700MB mark. I can manually reduce the usage by resetting the task, but it doesn't seem like a sustainable solution. I'm unsure if this is expected behavior, hence I wanted to seek clarification on this matter. 

 

All drivers and software on my Windows 11 system, including the chipset, are up to date. Here are my system specs: 

- CPU: 7800X3D 

- GPU: 4090 

- RAM: 64GB @ 6000mhz 

- Windows installed on a 1TB M.2 SSD 

 

I appreciate your assistance in reviewing this issue.

Thank you,

Dan.
