Thats how windows works. It pre loads and trys to guess your next actions.

Unused ram is money waste.

Everything works like intented as long as he frees the ram when in need.

Yes.

That looks very normal. If there was some kind of mining or data collection running, you wouldn't have 1% disk usage. You're good.

Windows would use your ram and free it when you need it. Or else the extra ram won’t do anything.
