System and Compressed Memory High CPU, RAM and Disk Usage in Windows 11 FIX [Tutorial]

Issues covered in this tutorial:
high system CPU and compressed memory usage

System and compressed memory is a memory process responsible for various system and memory related functions. This process is mainly responsible for compressing files and folders stored on your hard drive and managing RAM. On average, the compressed memory and system process is only expected to occupy a small amount of CPU and disk. However, in some cases, the system process and compressed memory starts using 100% of affected users' disks, which incredibly slows down their computers and hampers the duties and responsibilities of other processes and tasks.

Some people notice that the System and Compressed Memory process shows high CPU, RAM, and disk usage on their Windows 11/10 systems. In this tutorial, we provide some solutions that can help you resolve the issue.

This issue first surfaced earlier this year and has since become increasingly widespread. The compressed system and memory process can cause high disk usage as well as high CPU usage using up to 100% of your disk for one of two reasons: You have changed the settings of your virtual memory and ended up changing the paging file size from Automatic to a set value or the system process and compressed memory just goes haywire. On the bright side, it is entirely possible for Windows 10 users affected by this issue to fix it, and here are the most effective solutions to this problem. If it is only this process that is causing usage spikes, we do not recommend installing additional physical memory.

This tutorial will apply to computers, laptops, desktops, and tablets running Windows 10 and Windows 11 (Home, Pro, Enterprise, Education) operating systems from all supported hardware manufacturers, such as Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Alienware, Razer, MSI, Huawei, Microsoft Surface and Samsung.
