On boot: 70%+ of ram in use (out of 16gb) - where is it?

[Cooksauce]

Hello,

So recently I've been having ram issues on my desktop. On boot up, after logging in I will have upwards of 11gb of ram 'in use' before even opening applications.

Is this normal? Booting in safemode yields around 1-2gb of ram at startup.

The computer seems much slower than it used to be. (i5-6600K, 256 GB Nvme Bootdrip, 500GB sata SSD additional, GTX 970)

As you can see the last bios time was over 13 seconds.

Any idea where the hidden memory usage is coming from?
