Ask the maker: why does Windows show 78% RAM with nothing open?

by•

Hey everyone - I'm the maker of MemoryCleaner.

First, the part most launch posts skip: a memory cleaner does not fix a real memory leak, and it cannot replace more RAM. If your In Use column climbs hour after hour while you open nothing new, that is a leak - restarting that process is the fix, not a cleaner. I built the app to show the per-process view first, before offering to free anything.

What the app actually does:

- Lists every running program, sorted by what it is really using

- Frees the ones you pick in one click, and shows the number that came back

- 2.5 MB installer, no ads, no telemetry, no background service

What I want to talk about here is the weird cases. The machine sitting at 78% with nothing open. The Windows process holding 2 GB you have never heard of. The "memory leak" that turns out to be one browser extension multiplied by twenty tabs.

Post your Task Manager screenshot and I will tell you what I would look at first - no pitch, just the diagnostic.

30-day full-feature trial if you want to test it first.
