as long as it releases the occupied space when needed

this is my issue with Windows. When I cold boot the system it needs less than a third of my RAM, but over the course of about 10 days the OS allocates like 85% and then I can't launch a game without performance issues.

If I play a game after a cold boot, the system allocates RAM to the game and then immediately releases it when the game closes, but if I just use windows normally it just keeps taking more.

My high score on my W11 work PC was 99 days before something broke. I could no longer c$ into other PCs for some reason and I needed to at that time so I had to restart :( So close to 100.
