    Windows 11 seemingly reports being "out of memory" even though not even half my memory is used.


    Ever since upgrading to Windows 11, all kinds of software start reporting "being out of memory" browser tabs crashing with the "out_of_memory" error code, programs reporting being unable to allocate more memory to debug outputs, etc.. Whenever I check task manager though, usually not even half my physical memory is in use. What could be causing this issue?PC Specs:Ryzen 1700 with firmware TPM32 GB RAMASUS X370 MotherboardRX 5700XTWindows 11 Pro Build 22000.282I am aware, that my CPU is not officially supported, but I can't really see how that would cause issues with my memory.

    :)
