RAM is an interesting thing, sometimes it’s there, sometimes it’s not. Well, seriously, it’s worth saying that many users often use many programs that run in the background, and no one even thinks about how much RAM they consume.
In this article we will tell you how to clear RAM on Windows 10 using the built-in tools of the operating system. We have also collected for you the best programs for cleaning Windows 10 RAM.
Clearing RAM by restarting the computer
As I think many people know, the easiest way to clear RAM on Windows 10 is to simply restart the computer. Because after restarting the computer, the RAM is automatically cleared.
Freeing up RAM by closing programs
You can also clear RAM by closing open programs that use the most RAM. To do this, you should use the Windows 10 task manager, which has quite a wide range of functionality.
You can see more details about running processes in the Details tab, and also close demanding processes from there.
Cleaning RAM with a simple script
This is another way to clear RAM with a script without using third-party programs. We just need to create a small script to clear the RAM, after running which the cleaning of the RAM will be really fast and efficient.
The advantage of this method is that you do not need to search for and download third-party programs. Once you create a script to clear your RAM, you can use it whenever you want. So, to clear RAM using a simple script, you need to follow these steps:
There is also another command that also allows you to clear RAM. But here you also need to create a script as written above. And insert the command into the script itself:
mystring = (40000000)

conclusions
In this article, we looked at how to clear RAM on Windows 10 because it is a really interesting topic. We recommend that you pay attention to the list of the best programs for cleaning RAM in Windows 10.
Write to us in the comments how you free up RAM, and what programs do you use for this?
Any computer has two types of memory devices designed to solve different problems. This is a long-term storage device (RSD), which is necessary for storing long-term information, and a random access memory device (RAM), which is used directly for data processing and serves for short-term storage of information.
Why clean RAM?
The performance of any computer is greatly influenced by the size of the RAM. During operation, various programs and files are loaded into the RAM block, which leads to a gradual decrease in the amount of RAM, and this, in turn, greatly reduces productivity and efficiency. To avoid such a problem, it is necessary to periodically clean up the RAM, thereby increasing its performance and reducing the time for performing various operations.
In the process of working with various programs, especially if the period of work is quite long, it becomes more and more noticeable that the computer begins to slow down. As a result, this may result in a banner appearing on the display asking you to close all programs to avoid data loss due to insufficient free RAM. If this is not done, the computer will close everything on its own and automatically reboot, completely clearing the RAM. This will inevitably lead to the complete loss of unsaved data, the entry of which could take an hour or more, and the work will have to start all over again.
In addition, noticeable slowdown during operation makes the user nervous, since it takes more time than usual to complete any operation. If previously the computer immediately performed a certain task, now it can think for a few seconds, and sometimes much longer.
One of the main reasons for this phenomenon may be an increase in the amount of RAM used due to the large number of applications that are added to startup during installation and load their modules simultaneously with the computer startup. In the process of work, new running programs are added to this, as well as various pieces of information transmitted using the clipboard, that is, copying.
Adding more RAM cards will not be a panacea, as it will be a short-term measure.
Adding RAM chips to store operational information will only be a short-term measure to increase computer performance
Firstly, the number of RAM slots on the motherboard is limited. Secondly, the software is constantly being improved and increasingly uses graphic effects, which require a constant increase in the free amount of RAM. This will be very noticeable if the user runs powerful graphic games or works in a professional graphics editor.
To remove unnecessary active and background procedures from memory, it is necessary to clear the RAM chips of accumulated information that is currently irrelevant. This will immediately lead to a sharp increase in the free block of RAM, which can be seen visually, and will lead to a significant increase in performance when performing various program operations.
How to clear computer RAM in different ways
The RAM of any computer is cleared manually or automatically. In the first case, utility utilities built into the system are used, or unused applications are disabled. In the second case, various specialized utilities are used that clear RAM without user intervention according to preset parameters. Most often, third-party programs are used to free up a memory block, since Microsoft does not pay enough attention to this problem, focusing on the latest models of computers that are equipped with a sufficient number of RAM chips.
If the user does not perform any special tasks on his device that require simultaneous opening of a large number of programs, then the operation to clear the memory block is not particularly necessary. If you need to keep several programs open, especially graphic ones, with constant use of the clipboard, as well as several pages in the browser, performance decreases quite quickly and requires constant cleaning of RAM.
The effectiveness of cleaning RAM is different for all methods, so the choice always falls on the method that is most familiar to the user. It all depends on the specific task that is currently being performed on the computer.

Clearing computer RAM manually
Quite often, cleaning the RAM manually is used. The method is not entirely convenient, but in the absence of specialized programs it is quite self-sufficient. The manual RAM cleaning mode is based on the use of utilities built into the system developed by Microsoft. It involves the use of several options for clearing the amount of memory used.
Cleaning via Task Manager
You can free up RAM by turning off unnecessary tasks that are currently running in the background on your computer. You can do this using the Task Manager. If programs were added to startup during installation, they will start along with Windows 10. Regardless of whether they are needed at the moment or not, they will occupy part of the temporary memory block. To disable them, you must perform the following operations:
To avoid having to manually disable the task every time you start the computer, it is best to specify in the software settings that you do not want to load the program and Windows simultaneously.

Cleaning by restarting Explorer
A small amount of used RAM can be freed by restarting Explorer. To do this, you need to carry out the following steps:
Restarting Explorer allows you to temporarily clear memory, since as new applications are launched, the RAM will fill up again and at some point reach its previous limit.

Cleaning via "Startup"
To completely prevent unnecessary programs from starting when the computer boots, they must be removed from startup. This will allow you to obtain free temporary memory in the RAM chips. To remove programs from startup, you must do the following:
- Right-click on the Start button.
- In the expanded menu, click on the “Run” line.
In the menu, click on the “Run” line
- Enter the msconfig command in the Open field of the Run panel and click OK.
In the Open field, enter msconfig
- Go to the “Startup” tab in the “Task Manager” console that opens.
- View the impact of all applications on downloads.
Check the impact on all app downloads
- Select the application you don't need and click the "Disable" button.
Select the application you don't need and click the "Disable" button
Disabling unnecessary programs from startup is one of the most effective ways to free up RAM.

Disabling visual effects
In the system settings, you can disable visual effects to partially free up the amount of temporary memory that is occupied by applications that provide connection and drawing of graphic constructions. You can do this as follows:
- Right-click on the “This PC” icon on the “Desktop”.
Right-click on the “This PC” icon
- In the drop-down menu, click on the “Properties” line.
Click on the “Properties” line in the menu
- In the “System” window, click on the “Advanced system settings” icon.

Cleaning computer RAM using specialized programs
To more effectively solve problems of optimizing a RAM block, utilities specially developed for this purpose are used. They allow, without user intervention, according to a predetermined algorithm, to check applications loaded into RAM and correctly remove them from the memory block. To do this, they use several well-known and proven programs that are most famous in the field of information technology.
Wise Memory Optimizer
The Wise Care 365 software package includes the Wise Memory Optimizer utility, designed to clean up your computer's RAM. The utility takes up minimal space during installation and does not take up many resources. You can download it from the manufacturer’s website or run it directly from the Wise Care 365 package. Clearing a block of RAM using the utility is performed as follows:

Mz RAM Booster
Mz RAM Booster is a small utility designed to optimize a block of RAM. Its main drawback is the lack of a Russian-language interface. After installation, the program is constantly located in the system tray and monitors the memory state. The utility stores the system core in RAM, and automatically unloads unused program libraries. To use it you need to do the following:

Glary Utilities
The Glary Utilities software package includes a memory optimization utility that allows you to clean it at a fairly high level. The utility allows you to pre-clear the clipboard and graphically represent the amount of cleared space in RAM. To use the Memory Optimizer program, you must do the following:
- Download and install the Glary Utilities program from the official website of the developer company.
Double click on the Glary Utilities icon
- In the main program window, go to the “Modules” tab.
- On the left side of the window, click on the “Optimization” icon.
- On the right side of the window, click on the “Memory Optimizer” icon.
In the “Optimization” tab, click on the “Memory Optimizer” icon
- In the “Memory Optimizer” console that opens, click on the “Clear Buffer” button and use the slider to set the required amount of memory to be cleared.
- Click on the “Start” button.
In the console, set the required values and click on the “Start” button
- The graph will display the cleaning process and the amount of freed RAM.
When the memory optimization process is complete, close the program
- When the cleaning process is complete, close the program.
CCleaner
CCleaner is not designed to completely clear a block of RAM. It is used to clear the cache memory and clipboard, so it will be self-sufficient if the user only uses the computer to work with documents. If the work is carried out in graphical programs or with a large number of applications and sites, then the effectiveness of such a program in clearing RAM of unnecessary fragments will be insufficient. To take advantage of CCleaner's capabilities, you need to follow these steps:
- Download and install the CCleaner program from the official website of the developer company.
- Launch the program by double-clicking on the icon on the “Desktop”.
Double-click the icon on your desktop
- On the left side of the main program window, click on the “Cleaning” icon and check the boxes next to the items in the list that need to be cleaned.
- Click on the "Analyze" button.
In the main window, set the required parameters and click on the “Analysis” button
- The process of searching and analyzing errors will begin.
Wait for the error analysis process to complete
- When the process is complete, click on the “Cleanup” button.
After completing the analysis process, click on the “Cleanup” button
- After cleaning the RAM block, close the program.
When the cleaning process is complete, close the program

How to clear memory using antivirus programs
If software and manual methods of cleaning the RAM do not help, and the amount of free memory becomes smaller with each startup, then this may be due to malicious software infiltrating the computer. To avoid such a problem, it is necessary to regularly conduct a quick scan of the system, which includes checking the status of the RAM.
For this purpose, you can install one of the popular antivirus programs:
- 360 Total Security;
- Dr.Web;
- Avira;
- Kaspersky Anti-Virus;
- NOD 32 and the like.
360 Total Security, Dr.Web and 360 Total Security currently have the best performance in identifying malicious software products. It is also necessary to take into account that free versions of antivirus programs do not have a completely complete set of functionality, unlike paid ones.
Clearing computer RAM using a created script
If specialized programs for cleaning the RAM are not installed on your computer, you can create a small software script yourself.
The effectiveness of using the script is debatable, since in most cases it does not clean anything. But sometimes you come across working copies that can be used.
To create a script you need to perform a number of operations:
- Click the left mouse button on the “Start” button.
- Save the created script as a “RAM Cleaner” file with the .vbs extension.
Save the script, changing the extension to vbs
- Double-click the left mouse button on the created script file.
- When prompted to clear RAM, click OK.
Click on the “OK” button to close the script
You can display a shortcut to the cleaning file on the “Desktop” for quick launch.
For comparison purposes, the RAM was cleared using the created script. The freed space was about 200 megabytes. At the same time, cleaning with the Wise Memory Optimizer utility freed up an additional 400 megabytes of temporary memory.
The process of clearing RAM is an important component when working on a computer. A sufficient amount of RAM allows you to run an additional number of programs and open several pages in the browser without compromising system performance. With the constant improvement of modern software and the increase in its resource consumption, monitoring the state of memory comes to the fore. This is especially true for computers equipped with RAM up to four gigabytes. Therefore, for those users who use resource-intensive gaming applications or work with graphics, it is extremely important to understand how to avoid overloading the RAM and properly clean it of unnecessary programs.
Quite often, when working at a computer, a user may notice that the system begins to slow down. The RAM is to blame, or rather the fact that it is heavily loaded with open programs and browser tabs. When memory becomes very low, the computer simply freezes, and when you open a window of some program, it may say “Not responding.”
Removing utilities from startup
Removing unnecessary programs from startup will also help increase space in RAM. All of them are launched together with the start of the operating system without your participation and immediately take away part of the OP. Often this list includes antivirus software, cloud storage, browsers, and email services. Moreover, leaving only what you need there will increase the loading speed of Windows. And programs that you use once a week, or even less often, can always be launched manually, by simply clicking on the shortcut.
So, to open the desired list, right-click on Start and select from the list - this is for Windows 10. Seven owners can find this item simply by clicking on Start. If it is not there, use the combination Win+R.
In the Manager, go to the section. The entire list of programs that are included in it will be displayed there. Select those that you rarely use and click “Disable” at the bottom. If everything is done correctly, the following message will appear in the “Status” column: “Disabled”.
After this, close all running applications and restart your computer. All - utilities removed from autorun will not load and will not consume RAM.
For those with Windows 7, in the window "System configuration" after opening the desired tab, a list of elements that are included in startup will immediately appear. If you do not need the program to start every time with the system, uncheck the box next to it. When you leave the birds only in the required fields, click “Apply” - “OK”. All that remains is to restart the computer.
Restart Explorer
Restarting Explorer will also help free up Windows RAM a little. To do this, open again "Task Manager" by clicking on the panel below and selecting the desired item from the list.
Next, on the “Processes” tab, find “Explorer”, highlight this field and click "Restart". The screenshot shows that it takes up 13.7 MB of memory. Then the screen will turn black for a second and all icons from the Taskbar will disappear, but after a while everything will appear again in the form you are familiar with.
Well, now our Explorer takes up a little less memory - only 9.6 MB.
For owners of the seven, the algorithm of actions will be slightly different. Open the Manager window and go to the “Processes” tab. Here you need to find explorer.exe in the list. Select this line and click "End process" bottom right.
The next step is to restart. In the open window, click the tab “File” - “New task”.
This method helps to free up memory for a short time, since with each new Explorer window that is opened, it will decrease again.
Using programs
There are also special programs for cleaning RAM. Many of them have a very simple interface in Russian, and will be understandable even to an inexperienced user.
The main window of the utility looks like this. It displays data from physical, virtual memory and system cache. The “Clear” button will help you perform the action we need.
The program is also quite popular. With its help, you can not only “Clear RAM”, but also perform “Optimization”, which will free up more space.
Another utility. It displays memory data in digital and graphical form, and the “Optimization” button will free up RAM.
Creating a cleanup file
If you want to feel like a cool computer geek and don’t want to install third-party utilities, you can create your own script, using which you can clean up your RAM.
To begin, open Notepad. Click "Start" - "All Programs" - "Accessories" - "Notepad".
Then paste the following text into it:
MsgBox “Are you really going to clean the RAM?”,0,”Cleaning RAM”
FreeMem=Space(204800000)
Msgbox "The RAM cleaning process completed successfully!",0,"Cleaning RAM"
In the FreeMem line you need to indicate the amount of RAM that is installed on your computer. The value is calculated as follows:
Memory capacity in gigabytes*1024*100000
For example, for 2 GB we write 204800000, 3 GB – 307200000, 4 GB – 409600000.
If you don’t know how much RAM is installed on your computer, then you can look at this value. In the top ten, right-click on Start and select “System”.
In Windows 7, click the Start button, and then .
The window that opens will display all system data. Look what is written in the box "Installed memory"– this is the value we need. Write the value into the text in Notepad.
Click on the "File" tab and select "Save As".
Select a location on your computer, in the example this is your desktop. You can write anything in the “File name” field, most importantly add the extension .vbs at the end. In the "File type" field, select "All files" from the drop-down list. Then click the “Save” button.
To clear memory, simply double-click on the created file. Then in the window that opens, click “OK”.
The RAM space will be successfully freed.
Removing viruses
Pest programs, or simply viruses, also take up space in RAM. Most often they are added to the startup list. Therefore, it makes sense to scan your computer for viruses with an installed antivirus program and delete all malicious files found.
For more information on how to remove viruses from your computer, read the article by following the link.
Freeing up space on your hard drive
Lack of free space on the hard drive also affects RAM. The fact is that all unused applications from RAM are loaded into the page file. And if there is not enough free space on the disk partition where the paging file is stored, then this method will not work effectively. So it is very important to free up space on the disk partitions that you have on your computer by deleting all unnecessary files, programs, photos, music.
Since the paging file is stored on the system drive by default, and it is most often called C:, you can read the article: how to free up space on drive C:

Memory Improve Master Free is an excellent free tool that will free up and compress system memory. This way you can speed up running processes on your computer. This is a free version of fairly easy-to-use software that will allow even untrained users to bring their computer's RAM to an optimal state. You've probably noticed that sometimes when running several resource-intensive applications that you launched at the same time, there is a drop in performance, as if the computer is having a hard time and can barely cope with tasks. At such moments, it's time to use this utility.
Deterioration in computer speed is most often associated with RAM (RAM) load. Many open programs and applications significantly affect its performance.
Therefore, the easiest way out of this situation is to reduce the load on the PC by optimizing computing processes. There is no need to overload the system - there are several alternative effective methods.
Closing unnecessary programs
The degree of efficiency of the operating system directly depends on open applications. Some of them are system ones that cannot be deactivated. In this case, there is a possibility of a system error or even further deterioration in the performance of the computer. Therefore, you should adhere to a certain methodology, which differs depending on the type of active software (software).
Unnecessary applications
If the RAM is so overloaded that it is impossible to enter the program (freeze), you must perform the following steps:
However, there is a high probability of data loss. Therefore, it is recommended to use this technique only as a last resort. It is best to wait a while for the program to return to normal operation and terminate it correctly.
Background programs
In addition to visible processes, background processes may run when the computer is turned on and running. They are not visible on the current taskbar, but can significantly affect the workload of the OP. To close them, you can use the method described above.
After activating the task manager, go to the processes tab. For clarity, you can sort by memory value.
Active components will be arranged according to the degree of OP volume allocated for their operation. You can terminate certain processes only after you are completely sure that their absence will not affect the performance and functioning of the PC. These tasks include system ones, those responsible for connecting the network and operating external equipment (printers, scanners, etc.).
Some background processes may appear in the Control Panel in the lower right corner. You can determine the name by placing the mouse cursor on it - the name of the application will be displayed in a pop-up window. In most cases, you can exit it by pressing the right mouse button and selecting the appropriate menu item. Some antivirus programs do not have this feature. First, you need to open the software with the left mouse button and perform deactivation from the main menu.
Cleaning startup
To increase user comfort, there is an autoload function. When the computer starts, it initiates the selected applications. Some software developers configure the installation so that programs start automatically without the user's knowledge. This is especially true for background processes. You can remove them from startup in the following ways.
Editing folder contents:
- on the system drive we find the startup folder;
- it is located in the following path: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\StartMenu\Programs\Startup;
- it contains shortcuts to software loaded simultaneously with the operating system. To clean startup, just remove the extra shortcut.
Msconfig utility:
However, this method will not release the OP - to do this, you need to restart the computer.
Restarting Windows Explorer
Explorer is a file manager integrated into the operating system. It is possible to restart it without closing other operations.
Task Manager:
- use the key combination Alt+Ctrl+Del to open the utility;
- in the “Processes” tab we find the image name explorer.exe. By clicking on the “End” button, we deactivate the task.
When this happens, the taskbar and the Start button will disappear. No need to worry - other applications will remain active.
To restart:
Batch file:
- a standard file is created on the desktop using Notepad, which initially has the extension .txt;
- Having opened it, write the following lines: taskkill /f /im explorer.exe, start explorer.exe
- After saving, rename it: “restart explorer.bat”.
It is important to monitor the change in extension and icon. The latter should be displayed as a gear. Explorer will restart after clicking on the file icon. The system will take some time - so there is no need to try to reinitialize. Otherwise, several conductors will be launched, which will lead to the opposite result - a decrease in the free amount of RAM.

How to clear RAM without restarting your computer
One effective way is to manually configure Windows registry settings.
It will quickly clear RAM and increase the speed of your computer. However, you should immediately warn that setting incorrect values can cause a decrease in work efficiency. Therefore, you should act strictly according to the instructions.
By the Regedit team
To enable the command line, go to the Start button and in the Accessories folder click Run. At the command line we type regedit, opening the registry menu.
You can then follow these procedures to increase the amount of free RAM:
These are some of the easiest and safest ways to improve OS settings. However, during operation, multiple errors accumulate in the registry, which can only be corrected with the help of special utilities. The most effective are CCleaner and RegistryLife.
Removing viruses
One of the reasons for the decrease in the volume of free OP is the presence of viruses. In addition to direct harm to the software, their activities reduce the performance of the computer. The methods described above are not suitable for removing them - viruses are often hidden from standard detection mechanisms. It is best to use anti-virus utilities - DrWeb, Kaspersky anti-virus. Among the shareware, Avast can be distinguished.
Currently, the network has both paid and shareware versions. With increased work intensity, it is best to use the first. After installation and first launch, the antivirus usually conducts operational diagnostics. Then you should run a full scan of all disks, including the pre-launch one, before Windows boots. With this approach, the likelihood of detecting third-party software is high.
For the antivirus to work effectively, you must adhere to the following rules:
- Set the settings to automatic updates.
- In the settings, specify a full check at least once a week and correctly set the characteristics of continuous monitoring.
By adhering to these rules, you can not only increase the amount of free memory on your computer, but also secure its functioning and protect important information from possible hacking.
Memory optimization
Currently, so-called memory optimizers have become widespread. These are paid or free utilities that, according to the developers, correctly distribute processes across free sectors of the operating system.
In fact, they have very low efficiency. The built-in manager handles this task best. To check this statement in the standard Windows set, run the application Resource Monitor. By activating several software, you can observe a sharp load on the operating system. However, over time, its level will drop to its old value. However, the software was not closed.
During the operation of the software, various areas of the hard drive are accessed. If it is filled to the maximum, the time required to complete operations increases.
To solve this problem you can do the following:
- remove unnecessary files from your hard drive.
- defragment it, optimize the distribution of space occupied by the software. This is a standard Windows feature. The launch shortcut is located in the Standard folder, subfolder - System Tools. After turning on the utility, to start the process, you need to click the Run defragmentation button.
The best way to optimize the OP is to remove unnecessary software and minimize the amount of startup. You also need to constantly scan with an antivirus and clean the registry. This will maximize your computer's performance.
