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.

80% of windows users, I guarantee, use the weather app daily. I place my bets there’s a bunch of crap happening as a background process.
