Checking memory usage is a critical task for optimizing system performance and troubleshooting issues. In Windows operating systems, there are several methods to monitor and analyze memory utilization. One common approach is through the Task Manager, a built-in tool that provides real-time information about running processes and system resources.
To access the Task Manager, press the “Ctrl + Shift + Esc” key combination or right-click on the taskbar and select “Task Manager.” Once the Task Manager window is open, navigate to the “Performance” tab and select “Memory” from the left-hand menu. This section displays a detailed overview of memory usage, including information about physical memory (RAM), virtual memory, and memory usage by processes.
