While YOU are not running any apps, Windows 10 is running LOTS of background tasks and those use some of the memory.
I just checked my PC and while I have only four apps running, there are 72 background processes also running.
So, yes, it's common for that to happen.

Yeah -- I understand, and folks that claim Win10 is a lot more efficient that Win7 are overlooking the fact that newer laptops have processors that are a lot more powerful than the older Win7 laptops, so of course they would run faster -- even with a lot more tasks running in the background.
If you want to experiment with disabling tasks you do not need, read this: Black Viper’s Windows 10 Service Configurations » Black Viper www.blackviper.com
