macbook pro memory issue.

[Regulus_21]

My mac is Macbook pro 16inch 32Gb ram

After I just formatted my macbook, activity monitori says I have 17Gb used memory without showing any process that is taking over 10Gb memory on a screen. I only open VSC, one safari browser, and 4 Chrome tabs. How this takes over 17Gb memory???

How can I fix this issue? I think there is a memory leak, but it is impossible to find a process that takes huge memory on activity monitor.

If you search for this subject on this forum, you will find many threads where this is explained and discussed to death. In summary, ignore this as system will use as much memory as available. It is designed to utilize as much as possible so it can be as fast as possible. Look at memory pressure, which is the useful measure for humans on memory subject.

Yeah... I just wasted 1 hour to read all of discussion about this issue on this forum.. But got nth
As you said, I think there would be no problem since pressure is low to use.

Thank u

That's normal. macOS keeps a lot of cached content in ram if there is enough ram.
Plus Chrome and VS Code love to waste ram.
