Can anyone help here? I have 8gb ddr4.
Why it shows there's 50% of RAM occupied if barely 20% is in use?

Is your win 10 32bit or 64 bit version? do you have an integrated vga? is it turned on? do you have 1x8gb memory stick or 2x4gb? are you checking the task manager in administrator mode?

Mine is like 432 MB, I use Windows 10 Pro N 32-bit. Ram = 2 GB

64

I use radeon rx460. It's turned on. (where to check if there's some trouble with that perhaps?

1x8

Don't get this one. I just press ctrl+alt+del to open task manager. Not sure what's the question here.
Not joining it by right click+run as admin.

Then I dunno what is this. With the last one I meant that maybe you can't see some applications running in the task manager because you don't have rights, but I am not sure about this either.

The integrated graphics card on your motherboard (not the rx460) can use a great amount of memory if it is turned on, but usually if you have a dedicated vga, then it is off. Anyway if it is turned on then usually windows shows max - vga memory as the total memory.. so if task manager shows 8gb then probably it is turned off, but you can check that in bios.

Mine is similar.
I think the figure you've pointed at is the amount of memory consumed by processes running by the user Toni (excluding system processes)

There's gotta be fix for this tho. I didn't put all my summer savings to buy a pc that will use 50% of RAM while listening to you tube.... Let me know if you find a solution, SiD!

The task manager always runs with admin rights when your account is admin. It doesn't ask you for elevation if UAC is in the default mode, but does ask if you set "always notify".

Sometimes processes allocate memory in such a way that it's hard to track which specific process owns it using the task manager. One possible clue you can get, if you enable the "Working Set (Memory)" column in the Details tab, and check that instead of private bytes, however, there can be much more that doesn't appear there.
By the way, if you're using Chrome, there may be memory leaks, especially with the latest updates. I've noticed that on my and other systems, certain tabs, most notably emails, cause repeated allocations, until it runs out of memory (if Chrome is 32-bit, otherwise it keeps allocating) - these reach more than 1GB. However, these are easy to track as you can press Shift+Esc in Chrome.
One popular program that might cause similar hard-to-track "leaks" is uTorrent. These go away once the process causing them is dead.

By the way, the screenshot you provided only displays memory occupied by a user, not by the whole system. The rest is very likely allocated by system apps or services that do not necessarily run on behalf of your user.
Discord, being a web application, can also eat a lot of memory (400MB and more) for no reason.

yea, we can't see shit.

process explorer tool might be useful, it shows highly detailed process tree. just hit the link and extract!

Well last time i had an issue like this i did email billgates@hotmail.com and he replied me saying he would visit my castel to solve my problem and he did!!!

jelly peoples gonna say it is a lie ae

I'm upgrading my computer, and bought another copy of Windows 7 to go along with it.

Since 8, Microsoft has been dumbing down and closing off Windows, both internally and in the UI. I like my oldfangled fiddly knobs and double clicks.

Good thinking Extremist. Double clicking 4ever!

This is why I'm sticking to 8.1, and possibly use VM's. I plan to use Virtual Machines for certain purposes.
