      background services sucking up all the ram.

      I love how the (mandated) Teams running on the (mandated) win11 work laptop is gobbling A GIGABYTE AND A HALF OF RAM all by itself. What the actual flapping fuck is that?

        Teams, like a lot of MS products, uses Edge Webview 2 (an Electron clone). So if you have Teams, and VS Code, and Chrome or Edge running you are running 3 Chromium instances.

          on top of that, I’m pretty sure electron apps in the background can’t be moved from RAM to Pagefile when they’ve been idle for a while . . . id imagine edge webview likely works the same

          Ew. But, at they all statically linked and can’t share pages for libs in memory? They’re all boating their own space without any kind of sharing? Pardon me and how dumb I am about windows, as I’m intentionally just a reluctant pedestrian on it since 3.1 .
