Windows 10 svchost using a lot of ram

[xeni]

Hey guys! So, exactly 2 days ago I have performed a fresh Windows 10 Pro installation. Since then, my RAM usage was over 20% when idling with no programs opened. I started asking myself why would that happen, and then I found the reason: service host starts somewhere around 75 services which all in total eat about 2gb of ram. I tought that if I would perform another Windows installation then the problem would go away. Wrong. I have tried some of the things I found on a quick search on the internet, but no succes.
I am taking any help you guys can give me, as I have never encountered this problem ever.

PC specs:
Ryzen 5 2600
RX 570 8gb
8gb ddr4 3000MHz
480gb SSD
500gb HDD
Windows 10 Pro (original and activated)

It's not a problem... obsessing over RAM usage like you are is the problem.

If you're serious about disabling services then disable the ones you don't need. I personally use NTlite to edit my Windows 10 configuration so that when it's installed services aren't an issue.

It's a Service Host and could be running any service. One way of determining what's going on is to match pid to service using tasklist /svc /fi "imagename eq svchost.exe" console command. For example, svhost pid of 1080 as seen in task manager (details) is shown as DCHP on console on my system.

By the sounds of it everything is running fine. Win10 uses 2+gb on my PC. With apps open I'm using 3.5gb. You need more ram if you're concerned.

My windows 10 says I'm using 5.9GB in task manager

My issue is that this was not happening before I have performed the fresh Windows instalation, it was only using like 5% max ram and I'm sure I did not have 75+ service host tasks in the task manager. Also, I am experiencing performance issues while gaming. I do have the latest drivers.

Where are you getting the 75+ number from? the list of things in the "processes" list in task manager?

5% of 8gb is 400mb.

A person's memory is a fickle thing. But I remember being young and stressing over how much RAM I could claw back from Windows XP. I mean ultimately it was futile and meaningless but I liked the idea at the time.

I used to install Freeram even though I think it was always placebo

buy more RAM

Close some processes or uninstall stuff
Memory leaks can be caused by any number of things
Do you have a Killer NIC by any chance?

Windows services should not be actively using 2GB, cept maybe Win Update related services while an update is being done.

It's used by Windows Updates and other services. This is normal for a fresh install as it must do updates and compile .NET Frameworks database, etc.

I dont have a Killer network card.
I've done the updates requested by Windows right after the installation...
