If you need to know how to check RAM on Windows 10, you’ll be happy to know there are several ways to do so, including using Windows utilities and the command prompt. The option you choose depends on which method feels more convenient to you, but it’s always good to know the total installed RAM on your system, and the amount of available or unused RAM.

Knowing the total RAM and the available RAM in Windows 10 can help with many things, including:

• Diagnosing a slow computer: If your available RAM is always low, it could explain why your computer is running slow.
• Meeting software requirements: Knowing your total RAM helps to determine if your computer meets the specifications to run certain software.
• Upgrading hardware: Checking total RAM in Windows 10 helps with upgrading your RAM memory.

Since RAM provides quick read and write access to data when you run software, verifying that you have enough RAM installed for your needs is very important.

It’s very easy to check both total RAM and available RAM using the command prompt. Open the command prompt, then enter one of the following commands:

• To obtain total RAM is: systeminfo | findstr /C:”Total Physical Memory”
• To check available RAM: systeminfo | find “Available Physical Memory”

You can also check RAM in Windows 10 using the System Information utility. If you check System Information in the Control Panel, you’ll see total installed memory (RAM) and how much of this is usable.

Open the Control Panel, then select System. Here you will see your RAM details.

The basic System Information screen doesn’t show available RAM. To see this, you’ll need to use the advanced System Information utility. Select the Start icon, type System, then select the System Information app.

Here you’ll see Total Physical Memory (RAM), Total Physical Memory, and Available Physical Memory.

If you want to get a more realtime view of total and available RAM, use the Task Manager. To access this, right-click in the Windows taskbar and select Task Manager. Select the Performance tab, then select Memory from the left navigation menu.

Here you’ll see view of RAM being used and available RAM. This line graph and the values below it will update in realtime as you open and close applications.

The iphlpsvc in Windows is an Internet Protocol Helper Service, and its job is helping to retrieve and modify network configuration settings for your Windows 10 PC. It effectively allows connections to take place across various Windows 10 networking protocols, like IPv6 and Port Proxy, among others.

This helper service is installed with Windows 10 right from the start, so it’s nothing you really need concern yourself with unless something particularly goes awry. That said, it’s also not massively important if you’re just using your system for general tasks like web browsing, media viewing, and gaming. Iphlpsvc is mainly useful for running remote databases, or connecting over IPv6.

You might come across iphlpsvc.dll when looking at the Processes tab in Task Manager. It doesn’t typically use up much in the way of resources, and can be safely left alone. It will typically start up with Windows 10 and continue to run in the background without getting in your way.
