Microsoft Says Windows 11 Keeps Up to 2GB More Data in RAM and Loads Widgets on Demand on 8GB PCs

Microsoft says Windows 11 can now keep up to 2GB more active data in memory instead of moving it to slower storage, and that Widgets on PCs with 8GB of RAM load only when users open them. The changes are described in a Windows Experience Blog post by Navjot Virk, which states that the improvements developed with the Windows Insider community are beginning to roll out broadly. Microsoft says the memory work makes an especially meaningful difference on PCs with 8GB of memory.
