windows 8 Task Manager "Mystery"

[News Bot]

Well, it's a mystery to me! My box has 32GB of RAM and I am using about 16GB for Hyper-V Guests. The top row of Task Manager Process tab shows 48% Memory. That's seems right but when I arrange the memory usage column (below the title) in decreasing

order I find the largest memory usage shown is 62.8MB.  Everything else is smaller. I doubt the numbers in that column add up to 16GB.  Why isn't Task Manager reporting accurately or maybe the question is: what is Task Manager reporting

on?

 

TIA,

P.S. Task Manager does show the VMs but as "virtual machine connections" each taking up about 36.9MB.

 

P.P.S The Details tab has a similar "memory" issue.
