Memory used readout out of sync with Windows 8 Task Manager

Post by tallon »

Currently the Rainmeter 'MEM' (memory used) is showing 34% on my screen , but Task Manager shows it as 27% so they seem to be out of sync. This is a recent thing as they always used to be in sync - anyone know why they would do this?

I would have thought Rainmeter would simply have 'read it' from the same system point as Task Manager.... I've re-booted but no change.


I'm using Rainmeter ver 2.5.0 on a Windows 8 Core i7 PC with 16 Gb of memory. The skin is 'Elementary'

Control your skin.
Normally (as I have experienced) there's a little difference between what Task Manager displays and Rainmeter's measures, the reason is that Task Manager doesn't seems to count the memory is using for itself.
But it's at most 1%.
