That's still a lot
Considering 8GB systems are back in vogue, that's a fuckload. More than half your ram just going to the computer existing.
Well no, its doing more than just existing, its sending screen shots of your screen to Microsoft, displaying ads, updating advertising ID to allow them to track you across the web, uploading your typing history It all helps shareholders of microslop.
Last time I booted up Windows 10 it was using around 2.4GB at idle
So Windows 12's RAM requirement is on track to being almost 10GB unless they cut it back by 20%?
Really a lot considering that most WinXP installs couldn't even use more than 3.5 GB of RAM at maximum
