There is a processes tab at the top. How many processes do you have running? You can sort by name and the amount of memory they use.
Look through the list and see what you have running in the background that you do not know about.
Programs seem to think that because I install them I want them to run every time I start my computer... like Steam and Skype and our Cannon Printer Software and everything by Apple and my laptop camera and other crap that I use just not every time I boot my laptop.
See what you have, some of it will make no sense some you should recognize.
You can end the process and it will restart when you reboot or you can restart it manually.
There is a way to stop the PC from starting these programs when you boot but I do not know it.
