My gf was complaining her laptop was slow, even though she bought it new last year and it wasn't a cheapo. I went to take a look, 8gb win 11 laptop, hammering more than 7 gb of memory while doing literally nothing after being turned on. "Maybe there's something wrong" I cleaned up her startup apps, uninstalled some stuff that she never used (and came as bloat from samsung), did some optimizations... Restarted, and still at 7+ gb of memory use. Yep, it's fucked.
