Why would you want to?

Windows normally uses all (or almost all) your RAM all the time.

That's good, not bad. Wanting to minimize the amount of memory Windows uses
is a counterproductive desire. Windows is designed to use all, or nearly
all, of your memory, all the time, and that's good not bad. Free memory is
wasted memory. You paid for it all and shouldn't want to see any of it
wasted.

Windows works hard to find a use for all the memory you have all the time.
For example if your apps don't need some of it, it will use that part for
caching, then give it back when your apps later need it. In this way Windows
keeps all your memory working for you all the time.
