Windows 11 uses too much RAM, Microsoft admits and wants to change that

Microsoft acknowledges that Windows 11 consumes excessive RAM and plans to make the operating system more efficient, particularly for devices with 8 GB of RAM. The company’s head, Pavan Davuluri, has outlined efforts to replace resource-heavy components like Webview 2 with native alternatives, such as WinUI 3, which uses less memory and improves performance. However, internal challenges persist, as highlighted by Marcus Ash, who notes that removing legacy code is difficult due to dependencies on older features by certain hardware drivers. While Microsoft aims to streamline Windows, the process faces obstacles from outdated software and user needs.
