The weather forecast in Windows 11 consumes up to 1.6 GB of memory

It's not a joke. The simple Weather app uses 600 MB of memory in a standalone to 1.5 1.6 GB when it's scaled.

The app is made like a web envelope (WebView2/MSN Weather), so there are several Chromium processes running in the background that inflate memory consumption.

The app also has a lot of ads. For comparison the company app on macOS uses about 250 MB of RAM and has no ads. #game
