I restart my work Windows 11 laptop and launch MS Teams and a terminal: 11.2 GB of RAM is in use.
11.2 GB
Apparently the 11 in Windows 11 stands for 11 GB!

Are you freaking kidding me!? Teams is using "only" 1 GB.

I.
Can't.
Even.

@mbt3d yeah, lots of cruft. Luckily I'm not pressed for hard drive space. But this level of RAM usage is just upsetting.

@shom Especially on a laptop where it is hard or impossible to upgrade, even if you can afford it these days.

@mbt3d yes absolutely. The thing is that I have enough RAM but because of what you pointed out it rubs me wrong, even more so.
