Between Windows 11 and Chrome. I had 8gb RAM on my wife's PC and with my wife jist running those two had 3gb left. Chrome was using 3Gb alone and there were 4 tabs open. My brain hurt trying to figure that out. I went through disabling all manner of startup processes and services. Helped a little, but not with Chrome. I finally just upgraded to 16gb. She doesn't like full reinstalls (use the damn share folder on the server and don't worry about lost files. Yes, it is mapped, it has your name and is only 1 of the three drives listed. At least backup the important ones so I won't have to pray Recuva works)
