Hello everyone, I have installed Windows 10 following the recommendations that Proxmox suggests, on the display I am using Spice, and I installed the spice drivers to the virtual machine, I attached assigned resources of the virtual machine and the configuration.

The problem I am having is that the host has a total of 40GB of RAM, when this virtual machine is turned off the host consumption is as follows:

But when I turn on the virtual machine that only has 6 GB of RAM assigned, after a few hours the ram consumption increases considerably even though I am not using the virtual machine or running any process.

Ram memory usage after 2 hours

and being on for about 24 hours this is the use of the ram resource, if I turn off the virtual machine the consumption does not decrease as if it had been set, in order to solve this I must restart the entire host and then the memory is just released:

My question is why this happens, and how can I solve it since a single virtual machine is consuming almost all of the host's ram memory, preventing me from being able to use another virtual machine simultaneously.
