I'm facing a peculiar issue with my Windows 10 PC that has 32GB of RAM. The Task Manager shows 100% RAM usage, but I can't see any processes consuming that memory—just around 5GB is accounted for. I tried using RAMMap, but it doesn't reveal any processes either, although the "use count" tab indicates most of the RAM is being used under "sharable." This causes my applications to crash and the system to hang, and rebooting provides only temporary relief until the RAM fills up again. The PC runs continuously, so I'm looking for a solution that doesn't require a complete wipe. Are there any reliable tools that can show exactly what's using the RAM, be it a process, driver, or kernel driver? Task Manager, Performance Monitor, Resource Monitor, and RAMMap don't seem to give me the full picture, and I'm at a loss here.

You should definitely check out Process Explorer from Sysinternals; it gives a more detailed breakdown of what's using your memory.
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll give that a try.
