    You can guarantee it? Are you a Microsoft Windows developer? In that case, I’d like to fill in a bug report.

    When I turn my machine on, without me doing anything at all, task manager would display >20GiB used. I don’t have many applications to run at startup. At most iCUE (Corsair keyboard drivers). I don’t think iCUE is using 20GiB if RAM.

    Then, I open 2-3 vscode instances. Each instance launches its own rust-analyzer, since I’m looking at 3 rust projects simultaneously.

    Each rust-analyzer instance uses ~3GiB of RAM.

    That is enough to reach 100% ram usage and the computer becomes noticeably slower, even if CPU usage is at 7%.

    Tell me, Microsoft Windows developer. Why does my machine grind to a halt when I use ~10GiB of RAM, if win11 says that the recommended amount is 16GiB and I have 32? 10+16 = 26. I should have a minimum of 6GiB left. The math ain’t mathing.

        Not only are you a Microsoft developer. Are you also a maths PhD? I thought I was using maths of a level I’m comfortable with. Mainly addition, abstraction, and multiplication if real numbers.

        Perhaps I’ve committed a grave mistake. Please show me where my mistake is.
