It not happening to everyone doesn't mean that it's not an issue.

Years back there was an issue with a windows update that eliminated the "Documents" folder on some people. I updated my computer and the folder was still there. It didn't happen to me, but it did happen.

There are millions of possible computer configurations. Some issues may happen in some computers but won't happen in others.

Even if 2 people have the same computer, they might have followed a different path to reach the current version of windows. Some might've started at win 10 and upgraded from there, others might've installed the latest version of win11.

All those things might result in bugs happening in some devices but not on others.

You are funny, but no, it's just unnecessary.
Using appropriate tools, such as the aforementioned process explorer, will help you avoid any guesswork.

Microsoft leadership is a bunch of scumbags.

Everything always gets bolted on with no consideration for memory footprint. It's basically 2 decades of software inside the memory because if they delete something it breaks.

Thats still a lot lmao

Have you tried using the windows debloat tool to get rid of all the AI and garbage that Win11 comes pre-installed with? Might help with the excessive RAM usage on startup.

And it’s not “the OS is using it because you aren’t

That was nonsense int he first place anyways

Windows doesnt include cache in the used ram procentage
