Windows 11's built-in Weather app wastes more than 1 GB of RAM

In the era of coding with frontier LLMs, it should take Microsoft 20 junior engineers, a couple seniors, a token budget and a month or two to fix most of this shit by building lean, native apps. Given that they can obviously spare this kind of resourcing, I truly wonder why they won't. Not that I give a crap - removed the last windows machine from my home ages ago at this point.

I have 64GB of DDR5 Ram and a 64GB pagefile on a pcie 5 SSD and window 11 still runs like crap.

What's the status on automatic debloating (non interactive) scripts for Windows these days? With vibe coding I'd expect hundreds of those to exist by now. Something everyone would run after a clean install, to revert, disable or uninstall all the stupid defaults and enshitifications Microsoft added in the past decades.

Anyone can recommend one of those?

An app which could have been a website.

This is what traditions mean!

In the 10+ years since I stopped using Windows, every time I hear news about Microsoft I never see a reason to not be glad of leaving :)

Anything above 50MB RAM for this is shameful imo and reflect poor engineering.

I likely unfairly judge (at a high-level) code security based on how much system resources applications waste. If your app, or OS uses that much resource to perform simple operations then you clearly lack understanding of what the code is doing. How then can I expect it to be secure?

Electron apps use lots of ram, news at 11.

I'm sure the memory pages compress well /s
