Why is my RAM usage so high with nothing running?

Is it normal for a computer with nothing running to have an 19% memory usage?

I know it may not be a huge problem but I'm concern because with a game like Modern Warfare I have 80%+ usage and I might run out of memory.

Tell me if you need more information.

One of the Windows 10 system requirements is ...

RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) for 32-bit or 2 GB for 64-bit

So, Windows needs at least 2 GB RAM to run itself and taking other apps like Chrome into account running alongside, 3GB RAM allocated seems to be due to Windows 2GB plus other apps in the RAM.
