Summary

  • Windows 11 Weather app hogs about 1.2GB RAM and spawns multiple Chromium processes.
  • App displays ads because it wraps MSN weather in a WebView2/browser shell.
  • Native macOS Weather uses ~247MB with no ads; Microsoft should port to WinUI 3.

My OS (Arch, MangoWM+Noctalia) uses about 1.3GB when no apps are running. It even includes a weather widget among other information widgets, like system monitor, all loaded in memory with their corresponding information, and it's all included in that 1.3GB.
