Global Memory Crisis Drives Windows 11 Optimization for Older PCs

The global memory crisis has proven useful for optimizing Windows. This was reported by Windows Latest.

Media journalists referred to the statement of the head of the Windows division, Pavan Davuluri, which he made in an episode of the Microsoft Inside Windows podcast. The top manager said that Microsoft engineers are optimizing the operating system (OS) so that it consumes less RAM and works more stably on older computers.

According to him, Microsoft is striving to ensure that the core part of Windows 11 is less resource-demanding. Therefore, experts are improving the memory manager and compression, the WinUI 3 interface, as well as the Chromium and WebView2 components that run some built-in applications. Windows Latest specialists noted that the company has actually found a salvation for computers with 8 gigabytes of RAM in conditions of high component prices, when users cannot afford a new personal computer (PC).

Davuluri noted that Windows will be able to use the freed-up resources for browsers, games and other programs. This should reduce latency and speed up system response on low-end devices. At the same time, a Microsoft representative emphasized that the new optimization should reduce the fixed costs of the system itself, and not just hide the memory used.
