I used a free Microsoft tool to instantly reclaim gigabytes of RAM I didn't know I had

When I was diagnosing a friend's PC that was struggling with constant slowdowns, Task Manager showed RAM usage sitting at 95%, but no single process was using a large amount of memory. We tried the usual RAM usage optimization process of closing apps, Googling the issue, and the only thing that temporarily helped was restarting the PC. But the issue would return after a few days, and restarting a system critical for work was not a sustainable fix.
