Normal Task Manager %'s?

[Sneezing Child]

What are the normal Task Manager %'s? Like 26% CPU or 14% Memory?
Edit: Running a Ryzen 5 1600 GTX 1660ti 32gb ram 1tb HDD 2tb SSD
Running CPU at regular 46% but while gaming its at 96% RAM and GPU running under 40%

You realize without any sort of information we cannot even give a ranged educated guess response, right?

For example: one person could be 80% CPU and 90% memory, just for Steam.
Another person could get 45% CPU on Steam, 99% CPU while gaming with 85% Memory used.

For me: 0.0% to 0.1% CPU for Steam itself and up to 10% CPU for gaming.

What CPU it is, how much memory there is, what the load/demands are of the system, what you're running/playing can give people an idea of what range(s) you may expect.

Try giving useful information.

If you've got a toaster or laptop those percents will always be fairly high.
If you have 2GB you have the minimum required for Win10 itself(not running anything)
Just running steam and one low resource game I'm at 38% CPU (3.39 GHz) and 6.1GB RAM (Its large due to my antivirus and other "stuff" that I need to tune) I could probably get mine back to the 4GB range but every Windows update makes Windows more inefficient.

Depends what's running and what hardware.

For example if you were running exactly the same things on say a Ryzen 2600, Ryzen 5700G, Intel 4790K and a Intel 12900K you'd see completely different % used

Same goes if you had systems with 4GB, 8 GB or 16 GB the % used would be different.

Provide some basics so people can provide better answers. Forexample if someone has the exact same CPU they could check......obviously whats running would affect it but they'd still be able to give you responses based on your hardware so likely more accurate than users with different hardware

Task Manager shows you how much of your hardware's resources are being used currently, and that depends on what your PC is doing right now.
I.E: how many applications are running, how much memory each application is using, etc.

Some applications are heavier than others and will require more resources to run, such as games.

There isn't really a "normal" percentage. The numbers go up when your PC is doing more work, and go down when your PC is doing less work.
As long as your hardware is sufficient enough to keep up with the demand, you're fine.

Obviously though, you want to keep the resource usages under 100%.

Just an i5, not surprised at CPU percentage.
19% RAM means nothing. 6GB though is way too much and I'll figure out ways to trim it back down (had a recent re-install so nothing is tuned to where it should be right now)

3% processor, 3,6GB memory in use. (just running steam, a browser, discord, and windows background nonsense and apps + task mananger + driver software, etc.)

Point is Post Your PC Specs; and we can maybe judge what maybe normal.
and also post during what activity. (netflix, streams on steam, playing a game, etc.)

edit: about that 2GB RAM for windows 10
if you want it to run normally you need 4GB free at least, because the background nonsense will run \ windows will try to update and check things etc.
Microsoft even claims it only needs 1GB, but you'd need to heavily modify windows and tune almost all settings to achieve that. Out of the box, it likely eats over 3GB, especially after updating.

Right, I swear I put it in there but the Copy & Paste must've messed up.
