I'm running into a strange issue while playing Fortnite. My computer has sufficient specs because I can run demanding games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Satisfactory on high settings. However, when I try to play Fortnite, it shows my RAM usage at 99%, even though it's only using around 4GB of my total 16GB. I'm confused about what's causing this and how I can resolve it to enjoy the game without any issues. Any advice?

You might want to try running a tool like Specify to check your PC's specifications. It can help others diagnose the problem better if you share the results. Here's the link to download it: https://github.com/Spec-ify/specify/releases/download/v1.4.0/Specify_noring0.exe. Once you run it, share the result link so we can take a look and assist you further!
Check whether your version of Fortnite is 32 bit or 64 bit. If it’s a 32 bit application, it has a RAM limit of around 4GB due to the address space it uses. You can verify this by checking the Task Manager; the process will indicate "32 bit" if it's running in that mode. If it's confirmed to be 64 bit, then the issue might be elsewhere!
I already checked this, and it's definitely running on 64 bit.
Here's what I got after running it: https://preview.redd.it/a1171ews3brf1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=6a0177e3562edfe58e8da6dc8dca53b94e24a458
