I have an 8GB Ram laptop, and just over the last weeks I had been noticing my RAM using going from the usual 55-60% while doing normal activities, to suddenly being in the highe 70's or low 80's, so I figured something had to be wrong, because that just wasn't making any sense. Well, I tried method 1 and now I'm back to around 55-60% RAM usage, so thanks!
Have been having awful ram issues for weeks. I used this it immediately went from ~95% to ~20%. Thank you so much for making this tutorial. You are amazing.
Hi, I was quite enthusiastic seeing how his trick benefitted everyone. However, even after using both the tricks, the situation of my Laptop's RAM's usage is same. Please suggest ways to solve.
Thanks so much @MDTechVideos ! I have 32GB of memory and my PC was using 95 - 99% all the time. I used both methods, resarted my PC and now it's down to 10 - 15% usage. You're my hero!
Mate, you're a lifesaver, even an year later. With me, all I did was delete 4 and put another 4 again, restart, then switch off the Windows Defender service, restart and there you have it. SysMain (Superfetch) service is still running, but I have a solid 33-34% RAM, it's no longer a 100%, neither does it rise gradually to 100%.
@@TheeSherminator the usual culprit is Windows Defender, especially if you haven't renewed it, and it's just sitting turned off. What I didn't mention in the last comment, however, is that I disabled Windows Update as well, and I think that one actually did the job for me (I disabled both services, therefore didn't knew which one did it). So I switched 4 for 4, disabled both Defender and Update, restart, and all was right. After that, since I disabled Windows Update, I just downloaded the custom Updater programme from Microsoft's page to use for updates. After a month/two, an update was on, so I updated my PC, and after I put it on, I saw both Windows Update and Windows Defender services running, but my RAM was still perfect - neither at a 90-100%, nor gradually rising to it.
@@TheeSherminator So yeah, if you, for some reason, can't turn off Windows Defender, go with Windows Update, remember to have SysMain (Syperfetch) turned on, turning that off maybe a solution, but after a couple of months, your PC might start to permanently suffer without it. In my case, it didn't even help lower the RAM, It brought it down to 30%, but there was still a leak, and after, like, half an hour, it had already risen to almost 💯%
I have 98% and nothing fixes it :( Edit: DAMN this actually fixed it now only 28% :D Edit Edit: Damn again, it was at 98% and did this again and boom 30% anymore, still works like a charm (Don't know how that one setting was enabled tho) Edit Edit Edit: again xD, this video has saved my life 3 times already
itd be nice if you briefly explained what ndu in regedit does... or what this is supposed to change/alleviate! could you please respond with this info?
That was very useful, on 2 separate occasions now very far apart after forgetting this method from the first time around. Thanks, what a lifesaver. RAM usage went from 98% to 17% straight away after restart. 😃😃😃😃😃
@@breitonpeerna1777 His instructions are very clear and detailed so I can only assume that this no longer works after years of Windows updates since an infant could follow along. It is a very old video - even my comment is three years old...........the video itself was posted five years ago.
@@breitonpeerna1777 My only suggestion is to try and find a newer video. If you are unaware, there is a filter for the search that lets you choose certain parameters, one of which is the date range of posts. Try showing only videos uploaded in the past six months or a year. Good luck! 😃 I have Windows 11 now so I can't check if I can still make it work.
My computer had been acting slow lately. Tried everything I could think of to fix it, then noticed the ram was almost full usage (and with 32 GB RAM, this seemed unreasonable.) Followed these steps, restarted my computer and now it's running so much better. Thank you!
The first thing with the regedit entry helped me so much ... I had an idle RAM usage with no program open from 80% and now i have only 16%!!! ... Thank you very much for that video!
This worked beautifully for me! Totally fixed my issue thank you man!.. One thing for everyone tho. Since doing it, when you update windows, some updates WILL change the value back to 2. So if all of a sudden your memory is locking up after an update, you have to do this again. Bookmark this or if you don't go in your regedit often, it should be in this same folder where you left off. You can see immediately if the value has changed. Just a piece of advice!
Thank you for a tutorial that actually worked. I was having issues with 98% usage of RAM but now it's only 28% (Yes this is pretty low since I have quite a bit of background apps running). Thank you once again so much :3 I love when stuff like this actually works!
Hello, if you're wondering.. This still works in May 25, 2019 I've done both metoda and my RAM usage went from 70-90% to 25-30%.. Thank you author of this vid.
You're a saint dude. Bought a new Pc recently, put 1.6k € into it. RAM ussage just randomly got to 10GB while nothing was open, tried your methods and now it's back to 2.2. Really appreciate it, thought the RAM might be broken and was really worried.
Glad to hear it worked for you buddy! I believe this tutorial might be able to assist you with your later concern: ruclips.net/video/DWku10Gv3ds/видео.html
Omg, I hardly ever post a comment on youtube, but I really wanted to thank you ^^ Thanks for saving me and my pc. I did all you've suggested in the vid and it actually helped me lower my RAM usage. My pc is installed with 16GB ram, but without any real reason my usage kept on being 71% or higher. Thanks for uploading your video~! Saved me a lot of time reading all the forums which didnt work anyway.
Same though mine has like 12gb of ram and when I did the first method, it no longer hogged up memory. Now its at ease. I still plan on getting a new one though.
Thank you SOOO much for this video, I've been driven insane for the past year from high RAM usage which makes it impossible to play any game with 1 google tab open. This has saved my life thank you so much.
Omg thank u so much it actually works went from 89% memory to 42%! I had my doubts but it really works. (Google cpu usage increases with more extensions u have)
Thank you very much, it worked great. I did your first option which was going to regedit. Before my memory use to go up to 85% but thanks to your help it now goes below 30%.
I wanted to say thank you for this tutorial. I was driving myself nuts trying to find the cause because the #s didn't add up in task manager. I was consistently running at 98% and 99% memory usage and I couldn't figure out why. I ran every virus test I could find, malware tests etc. I never thought it might be an OS setting/issue. I am now running at a nice 19% memory usage.
This really freaking worked, dropped from 95% down to 40% ish. My laptop has 16 gigs of RAM and I was seriously wondering why it was spending 15 gigs on Chrome...
You my man, are a hero! simple and easy to understand. NO bullshit and straight to the point. You should add companion videos that explain why and how these things work. i can only imagine how much i, as well as others would learn from you.
My hat off to you good sir. Thanks to this tutorial I managed to drop my RAM usage from 80 - 90 % to just 50 - 60 % !! But I did try both options. Works for me, many thanks!
Oh and BTW I have a 8GB DDR4 Ram. I am not a gamer, not a single one installed, but i still had this problem and I was shocked upon RAM consumption from normal processes like: Chrome, microTorrent, Viber, Microsoft Teams... But anyway, now it's better!
Thanks for the tutorial, help out a lot. Was having problems with my system using upwards of 85% of my 16gigs even at idle. Tried the first method and it's down to 18% now.
guys that helped me alot...i have 8gb ram and before doing this step my memory usage was over 65 but now its like 10 to 12 which is inasane...and now i can use ny computer freely
@@basicnoob3832 actually , it disables some windows 10 components like cortana and search bar , I also do it because I m desperate my laptop is slow but i realizes my cpu fan inside my laptop maybe cannot run efficiency maybe because of dust
These are windows 10's services, only this. You can disable them, nothing will happen. 2 means that the service is setup to automatic (it will start together with windows) and 4 means that the service is disabled. Disabling will make your pc turn on faster and make it run smoother. THIS IS NOT SUITABLE FOR OTHER SERVICES, they can be essential to windows 10 and doing so can make your pc "act strange".
Superb advice. It worked perfectly after restart of my PC and this was the pain for me past few weeks and couldn't figure out how to solve. Thank you a million. Cheers.
You are my savior! After a long time searching, with tons of useless answers, especially from microsoft themselves, who cleary have zero clue about anything... I met you, a few minutes spent here and I can go back to my everyday life :) Thanks!
Omg the 1st method worked! Thanks man! I'm really frustrated when my memory usage goes 99% on startup while having a 16gb ram i can't even access youtube without having lags
that's very interesting... 16 ram and still high usage? Maybe you have a low grade graphics card because usually, even if you have 16gb ram you can carry an i3 processor and still play games with no problem whatsoever. Do you have like ddr2 or ddr3 ram?
@@bakerhalt i have ddr4 i7 8th gen, i was really confused why did that happen to my pc, i even have rtx 2070 that's why i got really frustrated that even youtube lags so i searched every thing for solution in my phone because browser is also lagging in my pc.
@@NoVisionGuy has your problem been fixed because with aforementioned specifications there is a slim chance of bollocks like lagging browser to happen, if this is still happening go to your task manager and press more details, what rises the most CPU, Memory, or Disk? If it's memory it's probs RAM, but you have amazing ram so it could be maybe your hard disk or Main Power Source?
@@bakerhalt memory was the only problem occured so it was all ram problem. the 1st method in this vifeo worked for me as i changed the digit "2" - "4" in reg edit
Well i am not an expert but this Ndu (ndu.sys)it's a compressed file and i think it means Windows -Network Data Usage- Monitoring Driver and number 4 stand for 'disable' and 2 for 'enable'. I am not 100% sure about that, it's the info i know .
thank youy so much! I was at 80 with nothing running. Now im at 30-35% It's pretty so im gonna check later if anything's still being used but it's MUCH better than before
Thank you! You fixed a problem I've had for literally over half a month now! I thought I had a virus that my Anti- couldn't find! Tried that reg'-hack though, and now I can finally rest at night without hearing my laptop's fan! Thank you! 🤗
This practice works like magic. i just did and my virtual machines are back and running. i had 8gb and had this problem, then i upgraded to 16gb and had the same problem. i was furious. after following this video, my two virtual machines are not even using up to 50% of my RAM. thanks alot sir.
hey man i just wanted to say that u saved my life whenever one of my devices start breaking and i have to resort to youtube tutorials they usually never work, but this is actually one of the times they work and omg thank you sooo so much
I think the best way to save ram is by: 1. Go to settings 2. Go to privacy 3. Go to 'Background apps' 4. Switch the 'Let apps run in the background' off. It saved like atleast a gigabyte of ram for me.
wtf man, this was working for a week, now its back to how it was. wtf is windows doing with 16 gigs of ram idle, i did all of your steps and i rechecked it and they are still what you said to change it to. It is a little different now, before i did all this in your video the second i loged on it woudld be 50-65% used, now it slowly builds up over time like after about an hour or two to 50% use, even with ever window closed
@@AtaGunZ my problem is mapped files takes up hella ram. if i restart my computer its only using 15%. but if i leave it on all day at the end it uses like 40% and if i leave it on even longer then it can go up to 95%. like wtf windows 10 shit is buggy. EDIT: I wouldnt mind if windows allocated the ram to programs that need the ram, but it doesn't, my games just crash due to too little ram
January 2021 First Method is still working... Words cannot begin to tell you how relieved I am this worked... over a year of working with this problem... Thank you MDtech
Hey thanks for the video! I checked my task manager and have a lot of background processes that I have no idea what they are and they take up 40% of my RAM usage...do you know of any background systems that are commonly active yet don’t really serve a purpose to the user?
Hi is there 2018 updated version? I did both methods and it did help a bit it pushed down the memory from 55% to 40%. For some reason everytime I start up the laptop it gets about 40% memory used up eventhough I got nothing up. I even disabled most startup programs. Thanks

The first method worked for me, went from 98% to 50% after the restart, thank you very much.
Glad it helped
Thanks for the tutorial, help out a lot. Was having problems with my system using upwards of 85% of my 16gigs even at idle. Tried the first method and it's down to 18% now.
omg
it worked like a charm. I went form 100% to 20%. i used both methods
Your welcome!
if you do the second method as well does it reduce it further ?

@@Anuq Oi, about a few min after I wrote this comment I managed to fix it :) Ty anyways
@@Jepegish oooo whatchu do bro
guys that helped me alot...i have 8gb ram and before doing this step my memory usage was over 65 but now its like 10 to 12 which is inasane...and now i can use ny computer freely
i have 8 as well but still using 90%
Method 1 still works to this very day (12/11/2020)
Thank you so much!
Also, don't forget to restart your computer when you do either of these methods.
You're welcome!
I'm just wondering what does the regedit method actually do when you change the number from 2 to 4
same
Yea, it can damage im worring about it
I guesss it divides the current ram usage used by start from divided by 2 to divided by4
@@basicnoob3832 actually , it disables some windows 10 components like cortana and search bar , I also do it because I m desperate my laptop is slow but i realizes my cpu fan inside my laptop maybe cannot run efficiency maybe because of dust
These are windows 10's services, only this. You can disable them, nothing will happen. 2 means that the service is setup to automatic (it will start together with windows) and 4 means that the service is disabled. Disabling will make your pc turn on faster and make it run smoother. THIS IS NOT SUITABLE FOR OTHER SERVICES, they can be essential to windows 10 and doing so can make your pc "act strange".
Superb advice. It worked perfectly after restart of my PC and this was the pain for me past few weeks and couldn't figure out how to solve. Thank you a million. Cheers.
Glad it helped
Thanks for the help! Even though I had 16GB of ram it always said it used around 60-75% of my ram. Thanks once again!
You're welcome!
You are my savior! After a long time searching, with tons of useless answers, especially from microsoft themselves, who cleary have zero clue about anything... I met you, a few minutes spent here and I can go back to my everyday life :) Thanks!
Honestly clicking on this I was half expecting "get more ram ya dummy" and that's it
Omg the 1st method worked! Thanks man! I'm really frustrated when my memory usage goes 99% on startup while having a 16gb ram i can't even access youtube without having lags
Glad it helped
that's very interesting... 16 ram and still high usage? Maybe you have a low grade graphics card because usually, even if you have 16gb ram you can carry an i3 processor and still play games with no problem whatsoever. Do you have like ddr2 or ddr3 ram?
@@bakerhalt i have ddr4 i7 8th gen, i was really confused why did that happen to my pc, i even have rtx 2070 that's why i got really frustrated that even youtube lags so i searched every thing for solution in my phone because browser is also lagging in my pc.
@@NoVisionGuy has your problem been fixed because with aforementioned specifications there is a slim chance of bollocks like lagging browser to happen, if this is still happening go to your task manager and press more details, what rises the most CPU, Memory, or Disk? If it's memory it's probs RAM, but you have amazing ram so it could be maybe your hard disk or Main Power Source?
@@bakerhalt memory was the only problem occured so it was all ram problem. the 1st method in this vifeo worked for me as i changed the digit "2" - "4" in reg edit
I did this, and it seems like it might have worked so far, but can you tell me what these settings actually do?
Jacob Martin
Jacob Martin need to know as well
Im curious as well
Well i am not an expert but this Ndu (ndu.sys)it's a compressed file and i think it means Windows -Network Data Usage- Monitoring Driver and number 4 stand for 'disable' and 2 for 'enable'. I am not 100% sure about that, it's the info i know .
The NDU is a network communication driver. Sometimes it prevents your RAM from being flushed completely.
From 53% to 18% usage. Thanks a lot man. Cant believe it worked this day. Both method used
You're welcome!
Omg, god bless you man, you helped me a lot!! Hope you grow even big on RUclips and bless you and your family❤️❤️
Glad I could help!
thank youy so much!
I was at 80 with nothing running. Now im at 30-35%
It's pretty so im gonna check later if anything's still being used but it's MUCH better than before
Hey bro is it safe
@@karansaini4041 yes, its al microsoft programs. You arent downloading anything :)
Worked, I use this video to share it to my friend when they have low memory
Great to hear!
Thank you! You fixed a problem I've had for literally over half a month now! I thought I had a virus that my Anti- couldn't find! Tried that reg'-hack though, and now I can finally rest at night without hearing my laptop's fan! Thank you! 🤗
Glad I could help!
Bruh idk if im at even at Yt becasue its hard af to find actually a good tutorial so THANKS FELLA:D from 95 percent to 33 Ty again
Question

@@Honse18 it is indeed
Thank you man! I went from 70% to 48% I can now finally play PUBG without lag!
You're welcome!

Hellabandz I’m not much of a tech guy do what does this do exactly?
This practice works like magic. i just did and my virtual machines are back and running.
i had 8gb and had this problem, then i upgraded to 16gb and had the same problem. i was furious. after following this video, my two virtual machines are not even using up to 50% of my RAM. thanks alot sir.
Thank you so much, mate. You helped me a lot. My laptop now runs smoothly perfect unlike before. Keep up the good work and God Bless you!
You're welcome!
50% of my memory used to get used and now it’s like 80% wtf

@@BiminKoju bro i threw my pc in trash after that
It make my laptop slow the first method one
@@isee4528 me too
Went from 90% of my 16gigs of ram used to 50%. Thank you sir, that’s how you get a like on a 7 year old video.
Glad I could help
Damn, I guess I'll have to start learning from the beginning again.
worked great. my PC is working better. went from 95 percent to a steady 26%. thanks.
Your welcome Dave.
This worked for me for the first time, after I turned off the PC and turned it on again it was back to normal
Turned on and trrned off means restart
I try this in 2020. It still works. It drops from 98% to 23% just the first method after the restart. Thank you.
Good to hear

hey man i just wanted to say that u saved my life
whenever one of my devices start breaking and i have to resort to youtube tutorials they usually never work, but this is actually one of the times they work and omg thank you sooo so much
I love getting new desktop with 16 gigs only for it run for two hours and then memory max out.
I have same problem on my other pc, but my better pc has so much better parts so it doesnt max
I think the best way to save ram is by:
1. Go to settings
2. Go to privacy
3. Go to 'Background apps'
4. Switch the 'Let apps run in the background' off.
It saved like atleast a gigabyte of ram for me.
I have 4 GB ram.
.
Still watching this video😂😂...
Who is like me here??
same bro the thing that i hate that is have 650mb available ram only
I am having only 63mb left 😂
download memreduct i will help to decrease the usage of ram.
Thank you so much! It took me forever to find this video since my memory was at 99% usage!
Glad I could help!
wtf man, this was working for a week, now its back to how it was. wtf is windows doing with 16 gigs of ram idle, i did all of your steps and i rechecked it and they are still what you said to change it to. It is a little different now, before i did all this in your video the second i loged on it woudld be 50-65% used, now it slowly builds up over time like after about an hour or two to 50% use, even with ever window closed
Me too. It went back to previous Ram usage!
@@amilanuwan6066 its fixed again idk how. it worked for a week them didn't for a week then worked again and has been working since
@@AtaGunZ my problem is mapped files takes up hella ram. if i restart my computer its only using 15%. but if i leave it on all day at the end it uses like 40% and if i leave it on even longer then it can go up to 95%. like wtf windows 10 shit is buggy.
EDIT: I wouldnt mind if windows allocated the ram to programs that need the ram, but it doesn't, my games just crash due to too little ram
THAKNK YOU SO MUCH went from 97-22%

Glad I could help
For some reason my memory usage just goes 99% even after trying multiple things
Changing NDU from 2 to 4 has actually freed an additional 2 GB of RAM (I have 8GBs of RAM).
superfet changed to sysmain, rip my eyes
Yes..
January 2021 First Method is still working... Words cannot begin to tell you how relieved I am this worked... over a year of working with this problem... Thank you MDtech
Great to hear!
@@MDTechVideos I've been following your video guides over 2 years and most of them were helpful. thank you
Hey thanks for the video! I checked my task manager and have a lot of background processes that I have no idea what they are and they take up 40% of my RAM usage...do you know of any background systems that are commonly active yet don’t really serve a purpose to the user?
If you can kindly elaborate, I will do my best to assist.
Hi is there 2018 updated version? I did both methods and it did help a bit it pushed down the memory from 55% to 40%. For some reason everytime I start up the laptop it gets about 40% memory used up eventhough I got nothing up. I even disabled most startup programs. Thanks
it did lower from 4gb to 3,6 but i have 16gb its just so i can have more fps on some high end
games but yeah thx
You're welcome!
Stopping SysMain/SuperFetch helped a lot! my memory usage was 91% and now it's 22%. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
