Windows 11 Will Now Feature Reduced RAM Usage And Better Responsiveness Amid Complaints

Expert Verified By

The OS Is Set To Receive A Huge Upgrade!

Story Highlight
  • Windows 11 is getting a major overhaul, fixing a lot of long-overdue complaints.
  • The RAM usage is promised to be getting better, with much improved responsiveness.
  • The system will prioritize foreground apps while restricting background usage.

Windows is notorious for not being easy to run. It is undoubtedly the weakest link of PCs, which is leading many people to shift to Linux. However, Microsoft is now working to improve optimization to help the system run more efficiently. 

According to a new report, Windows 11 is set to become a lot more optimized, and it will feature reduced RAM usage and improved responsiveness. So, now even configurations with lower memory capacities should run fine. 

Why it matters: This was a much-needed change, considering the massive complaints about the high background usage and bad memory management on the platform, but it’s yet to be seen how it’ll perform in real life. 

Windows 11 Optimization
Windows 11 is set to become a lot more efficient with better RAM management

Windows Insider Blog confirms multiple big changes coming to Windows 11 soon. The updated OS will now prioritize what you’re using in the foreground and reduce the memory utilization of everything running in the background. 

So, say you have multiple apps open, Windows will give performance priority to the one currently in front of you for increased responsiveness, while others will be restricted. This is going to be a very welcome change. 

This is great news, considering the high memory prices

Moreover, performance under heavy load is also getting an upgrade. This is good news for people who have baseline RAM configurations like 8GB or 16GB, considering how the prices have now skyrocketed.

So, overall, the update is looking robust and is promising to fix a lot of things wrong with the platform, but let’s wait and see how it actually performs. Additionally, we could see Windows 12 later this year as well.
