Microsoft is planning to address excessive RAM consumption in native Windows 11 applications by updating WinUI, the system's graphical interface library. The update aims to reduce memory usage and improve overall performance, though no release date has been announced yet.
The issue has become noticeable in built-in apps like the Weather application, which currently uses up to 900 MB of RAM—a significant amount for a relatively simple utility. This inefficiency has prompted the company to focus on optimizing the underlying framework that powers these native applications.
