I've been observing that my RAM usage is sitting at around 97% to 98% consistently, even though I have no programs open. I do have OneDrive running, and my laptop is on battery power. Interestingly, I recently sent my laptop to a repair shop (Curry's), where they took it apart before returning it to me, but they didn't perform any repairs. Lenovo Vantage indicates that everything is fine, and there are no pending updates. I'm just trying to figure out why my RAM is acting this way.

If you think your computer might be struggling with memory, check out some guidelines on evaluating whether you need more RAM. It's pretty helpful! Just make sure it's relevant to your situation before following it too closely!
Have you checked the Details tab in Task Manager? That could give you insight into what's using up your RAM. If you didn’t check during the high usage, keep an eye on it next time it spikes! You might spot a rogue process.
I noticed you included some screenshots, but I'm having trouble accessing them. Can you post them again so we can see what’s going on with your RAM?
I didn't check it when the RAM was high, but after a reboot, it looks normal again. This has happened before, though.
