Windows 10: 25h2 update is a memory hog

Just updated to W11 25H2 update. What I immediately noticed was my RAM usage went up 2GB, I have 16GB RAM and I typically was using approx 5-6GB ram. Now the system is using 7-8 GB ram. That on top of the updated Office 365 both of these updates are using copilot which which just aggravates the issue. I've turned off Copilot since I don't like it anyway and don't use it. I've gone into task manager and turned off little used apps/programs that use memory. MS really needs to do something about this. Now I have to consider adding more memory. I look forward to anyone's comments. Thanks

Why is microsoft edge such a memory hog?

the reason they do not show up is that the app list has the launch DLL and is tracking that. It takes very little memory as you can see. Edge is a HUGE resource hog. My dissection is that there are two issues for MS. 1. a serious memory leak in the
code as usage jumps all over the place. 2. that the developers did not include commands to release memory upon exit of functions or a tab. This is a very serious design flaw and MS needs to step up and fix it. I have to say that Chrome and Mozilla also
use extraordinary amounts of memory too and I think they have the same problem of failing to release memory on exit. This does not bode well for us users out in MS land. Please, MS development team, address this memory issue or folks will stop using Edge.
I like Edge, but it's memory use and CPU use is not bearable.
