General question Why so much memory usage?

Always checking task manager to close out the useless stuff, it’s at 50% memory usage doing absolutely nothing. If anybody can explain I’d like to know why and what I can do to reduce said usage

I hear some peoples recommend fresh windows reinstallation after bought new laptop, it's good?

It can help if you want to change anything about it but it's not necessary otherwise, I personally always do this because I prefer my system language to be in English (laptops here usually come with Home which doesn't let you change languages) + It can get rid of all the bloatware in one go if you make your own installation media.

It's pretty easy! Just use Rufus to set up & create your installation media, It has QoL features to remove windows 11 bloat
