Opening excel and outlook on a win11 PC brings you to almost 16GB of memory used. I don't know how anybody is still selling computers with 8GB of ram.
Why in the hell do those programs take up so much space?
Usually, caching. They can and do use less RAM if you have less free, at the cost of slower performance.
