Always wondered what the concurrent in-game users are. Most of the time I'm logged into steam I'm not gaming, it just autostarts with my laptop and pc lol.


Do people actually do that?

I turn off all unnecessary applications and services, and kill background programs (when not in use).
That is the only reason I can idle and have windows11 take up like 3.4gb of ram and like ~110 process threads. 
You let everything just run... before you know it, all your memory is eaten up by bloatware and unnecessary programs.

It does it automatically after you install Steam, you have to turn auto start off and most people don't bother.

3.4GB? groan, I used to have XP running with less than 200 MB of RAM in use. Currently 10 GB in use which is mostly Firefox :/ (But got 32GB ram so no issue)
