High host memory consumption - ESXi 6.5

I'm running into an issue where my hosts are consuming a considerable amount of ram, even in maintenance mode with no virtual machines running on the host.  This is the same even after a fresh reboot.

For example, from a fresh reboot with no virtual machines running on the host, it's consuming 11gb of memory.  Looking in esxtop, I'm not getting a clear picture of what is consuming this quantity of memory.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Try to reinstall your ESXi.
