I want to know what software is constantly using up my memory.

Alright, I’ve had enough of this nonsense. My decently specced PC (Ryzen 5 3600X, RTX 2060, 16GB RAM, good temps) suddenly decides to stutter like crazy in GTA Online—and even when just watching a **bleep** video in the browser.

    Open Task Manager, sort processes by memory usage in the Processes tab, or use Resource Monitor to analyze detailed memory allocation. Terminate any unused software that is still running.

    Open up Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) while the stutters happen, check the Processes tab, and you’ll instantly see which program is hogging your memory.
