Windows 11 Weather app uses over 1 GB of RAM
Tests reported that Windows 11's built-in Weather app can use more than 1 GB of RAM, and in some cases up to about 1.6 GB during basic interactions. The high memory use is linked to the app being a WebView2-based MSN Weather web app with multiple Chromium subprocesses, and the interface also includes ads.
