    There isn’t any AI or other M$ crap in my Windows, always the first things I kicked out. Now it goes blazing fast and stable with less than 700MB RAM (Windows 11), unneeded telemetries blocked with Portmaster.

      You seem to be under the impression that “16.0 GB (15.3 GB usable)” means that Windows is what is taking up the missing 0.7 GB. This is not the case.

      Most of that is probably reserved as VRAM for your integrated graphics. None of it is in use by Windows itself.

      Windows memory footprint is larger than that, without question.

          Which aligns with what I said. 500MB is most of 700MB. The difference is made up of other various hardware reservations.

          My completely standard Windows 11 install says 64GB installed and 63.9 GB usable. I can assure you that doesn’t mean Windows is only using 100MB.

          Go to task manager and look for “Hardware Reserved” at the bottom right of the memory tab. I bet you’ll see a number very close to 700MB. Mine says 87MB.

      How do you disable ALL AI in Windows 11? and even so, Windows running “blazing fast and stable” with less than 700 Mb? Sorry bud, I will need some evidence

        I don’t have nor use any MS apps, so it’s easy to have the OS AI free.
