How much is cached files? That is one thing I always note on Apple, typically I sit around 6-8gb of cached files.

For windows specifically cached memory looks very similar to unused memory so when someone is complaining about "windows is using all my memory" it's very unlikely to be caused by caches.

4.3GB... which seems roughly similar to my 32GB Windows PC - it's sitting at 89% memory use with 3.5GB cached.
