I had a desktop with 16GB, never really went over 10, got a new laptop, runing win 11, 32 GB of ram thought it was way overkill, out of the box its running12-20GB, its crazy.
As you start getting closer to your memory limit windows starts unloading things. 11 on first startup will use like 4+ gigs, but only really needs about 2. I honestly have no idea what it’s doing with all that extra ram.
Disk caching isn’t counted in the ram used number task manager gives you so it’s not like that’s what it’s being used for.
