I've also pulled and replugged the cables.

The Windows 10 superfetch algorithm was changes since Windows 7, and it is now extremely greedy. Most people think it's all the bloat, but if you simply disable the superfetch service, your memory allocation will be less advantageous, and you will not run out of memory so quickly.

try disabling that real-time scan/protection or whatever shit it is
it seemed to solve this problem for my parents at least
or install a GNU/Linux of your choice

My money's on driver memory leak. If it doesn't show up in your task manager it's usually either because you haven't checked the "show processes by all users" checkbox, or because it's RAM used by the kernel, ie. drivers. Try to find something like pic related in your task manager and post it, no idea if the Win 8/10 one still has memory stats.
