The Memory Compression feature in Windows 10 and 11 is used to optimize physical RAM utilization by compressing some of the pages in RAM. By using process memory compression, you can keep more processes in physical memory without having to page them on a disk. Required data is retrieved from RAM faster, even though additional CPU resources are spent on compressing/decompressing it. With memory compression, you can reduce RAM usage, hard disk load by reducing the amount of I/O operation, and save SSD resources.
The System and Compressed Memory Service high CPU usage issue occurs on Windows 10/11 computers without an obvious reason. Up to today, I have faced this issue several times, either in clean Windows 10/11 installation(s) or in many Windows 10/11 computers and tablets such as Microsoft's Surface Books.
