Windows 11 and memory requirements: Why are computers running slower than expected?
When launching the Windows 11 operating system, Microsoft promised that the new system would be much more efficient and less demanding on random access memory (RAM) than its predecessors. The developers' goal was to ensure smoother computer performance, even on older devices. However, the reality for many users is different, and many complain about high memory consumption during routine tasks.
According to information from technology websites such as Gamepress, the Windows system itself is not the only main culprit. The problem is often caused by auxiliary programs and drivers from hardware manufacturers that are installed automatically. An example is software from Razer, which can take up more than 2 GB of RAM after startup, significantly slowing down the performance of the entire computer.
For average users in the Czech Republic who use computers for work or study, this means that even a modern system can feel outdated if it is overwhelmed by unnecessary background processes. Experts therefore recommend regularly checking the Task Manager and turning off programs that are not essential for current activities.
Microsoft now faces a difficult task. It must find a way to better collaborate with software manufacturers and ensure that Windows 11 truly delivers on its promised efficiency. Users hope that future system updates will bring better optimization and allow computers to work faster without the need to invest in new hardware.
