"Windows" process using too much Memory (Dual boot setup)

When I start my pc, (Nobara 43) Memory is up to 70% usage. I dual boot, but use Windows like 5% of the time. I have a Swap partition (64gb), but I don’t know if that is causing this. Is it safe to kill the windows process? Can anyone shed some light into whats going on? I was starting to think this is sketchy lol

Do you use WinBoat? Because this is exactly how my WinBoat Windows VM presents using top. htop shows the qemu-system command, and btop shows both.

OP may have some confusion about what dual-boot means. WinBoat running in the background is the best plausible explanation for this, IMO.

I do use dual boot, but still have Winboat on the Linux side because some windows specific apps that aren’t demanding. The ones that are demanding in performance are the ones that I use on Windows natively.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
