Windows 11's built-in Weather app wastes more than 1 GB of RAM
Summary
Notebookcheck reports that Windows 11's built-in Weather app consumes over 1 GB of RAM, significantly more than macOS Weather under similar use. The high memory usage is attributed to the app being built on WebView2/Chromium and including ads, with potential implications for lower-end hardware. Microsoft has indicated ongoing efforts to optimize Windows 11, including possible native rewrites for MSN Weather in the WinUI era.
