From above screenshot you can see all the service host services eating too much ram and total ram utilization is 85%, when I took this screenshot. But it will be 100% without opening any single software. this is too much didn't expected this quality from windows 10 and HP. After having i7 10th gen, 12 gb of RAM. If it still working like this I don't know how much ram guys require to run windows 10. I have tried all solution from internet tried it for days nothing seems to works.

Your comments about usage and your screenshots conflict.
If you look at the details, most of those processes are using ZERO percent and the few that use anything, add up to around 1% -- a long way from the 85% you claim.
Clearly, something else is using the CPU, not those processes. Sort the processes by CPU usage and see what is at the top.

Hello
I don't understand your answer @WAWood
the question is about the amount of RAM used.
and indeed, we can clearly see at the top 84%, I guess that is the question of @akshay0804
That said indeed, we can not see everything here, except Vlc, and the antivirus (nb, depending on the one used, it can already use a lot of memory)
It would also be useful to have this

Hello Sir thanks for you reply. I am attaching screenshot that you mentioned, and regarding vlc and antivirus please note that event if I don't open any of the application , after 1 hour only background process eats upto 99% of RAM and then laptop hangs.

The OP claims the service host tasks are eating up most of the RAM -- and the screenshots clearly show that is NOT the case.
As mentioned, you need to look at the tasks again and this time, sort them by CPU to see what is using up the bulk of the RAM.

This is what you have to check for memory!
click on memory in order to have the most greedy first
You can also right click on it, at the bottom value of resources in% it gives this:
I am personally at 23% use here!

Hello , After googling for 1 day constantly nothing worked for me. I tried to group svshost processes in result count reduced to 30 process, which was earlier like 84 or 82. But one strange thing which I found is , RAM usage is increased at every second. It don't stop even If my laptop is in sleep mode. I am attaching picture after 3 hour of usage. I am planning to re-install windows 10 1603 as I hear that version didn't included this svshost processes. Please give me some suggestions.
