windows - Cached ram/ Memory leak




For the past year or so I have been struggling with 2/3 of ram or more is being cached and not being released to other programs when I need it. Games and browsers crash regularly. I have searched all over the internet for solutions and came to rammap. Idk what to do anymore, I need some answers to what this could be and how I can resolve this. Also I have a ton of service host processes, but three individual antivirus programs show that I have nothing to worry about. Pictures highly related.

Additional info



I have a ton of games and heavy work related programs (BIM, PS, VM etc) but the cached is being made regardless (when I do some light chrome browsing and file management).




Specs:
Msi z170A mobo
gtx 970
i7 6700K
vengeance LPX DDR4 2x8GB 2600MHz



I might just double the ram as I have two more slots for it, but I don't think that will fix the problem. Possibly just caching more random stuff.

It appears you have memory compression disabled, within an Administrator PowerShell command prompt, Enable-MMAgent -MemoryCompression will enable it. You should also allow Windows, to manage the size of your paging file, based on your comment you don't currently have one.
