vmmem is cosuming lot of system memory and when I try to end this task in task manager I get this error "Access Denied" or similar admin error.

Docker might be the reason. I shutdown 'vmmem' by the following steps

1. Open Windows PowerShell as an Administrator
2. Type wsl --shutdown

vmmem is represented by virtual machines consuming your system resources. Turning off your virtual machines may decrease your vmmem resource usage.
