Id probably start writing a book titled; "Welcome to the Internet: A Guide to browsing the web without being naive and clicking on dangerous things and entering foul domains." or "Welcome to Computers: A guide to know when its NOT ok to click ok!"
Using Opera (12) or Vivaldi are probably the best things to do avoid any malware related troubles. That's what I personally do since the stone age, and that's why I never catched a virus on my PCs. But the real world is made by sheep. They were using explorer and now they are all on Chrome. (obviously both left with the idiotic default settings absolutely untouched). That's the real world, that's why a "nurse" is mandatory for most of the users. No matter if and how much me, you, and PD are skilled or cautious.
Since win95, windows adapts the memory usage depending on the available ram. Most of the difference is due to various caching mechanisms, meant to avoid HDD access rather than plain usage from apps and services.
disabling all services that doesn't needed to OS reduce memory size by 250MB and reduce handles to 6.5k

i have 16gb's and only 5% is used at any given time when gaming 30% and when doing work editing rendering and so on 99%
I too have 16GB, but I occasionally see The Creep happen, where RAM usage inches upward and is not accounted for by common sense (i.e. what I know I'm running) or by adding up the process usage in Task Manager. I haven't been able to figure that out, since it doesn't happen consistently enough, but I don't recall it happening before W10 builds mid last year (it's been worse with some builds vs others). If you let it go long enough without rebooting, you'll get the Low Memory warning. Here's what it looked like when inexplicably one day I hit about 11GB usage after not rebooting the machine for a few days. I wasn't running much, but I closed every last thing only to see it drop to 10GB. The "System" process and everything else didn't remotely add up to 10GB. It's not a nonpaged memory leak, as can be seen here. It's not a Handles or GDI Objects leak (have those columns enabled in Task Manager). But it's some kind of leak.
I have 64k. 8k is used while heavy gaming at full max details on 4k monitor 3D with HoloLens. L.E. Those Tetris cubes are so squared... How do they do that
Games? Thats for kids. I use this : sc config WerSvc start= disabled sc config WinDefend start= disabled
Just under 1GB on Windows 8.1 Enterprise .. one of the reason i moved back to Windows 8.1 was due to 10 eating all the system resources up oh and the spying ?
The more RAM you have, the more Windows can load straight into memory for faster access, with 4GB, most of windows needs loading from the HDD/Pagefile each time Add another 8GB and your RAM usage will go up too, but windows will run faster
