RAM is meant to be used, that 8.4GB would either
1) Mean the next time you re-launch Just Cause 4 it would launch much faster because it's still in RAM
2) Be instantly relinquished when another application asks for it.Don't use memory clearing utilities without any idea what memory is used for. Most likely you're just making your computer perform worse overall, so you can look at a smaller number in that one screen.
I don't use them and I don't even need them. It just shows how much bloat Windows 10 has. It's true other processes are killed in the background by a clearing utility, but MS could themeselves try to not make it so bloaty that 6GB is cleared easily.
