Microsoft targets lighter Windows 11 RAM use on 8GB PCs by end of 2026

Microsoft has officially announced a memory-optimization initiative for Windows 11 aimed at 8GB RAM PCs and above, with the goal of reducing the OS’s memory footprint and delivering a faster, more responsive experience by the end of 2026. The effort addresses high RAM usage from WebView2 and Electron-based components and includes moving more UI to WinUI to cut memory demands, with Insider builds rolling out first and a staged global rollout to follow. While this should make 8GB machines usable for everyday tasks and improve gaming and battery life, 16GB systems may still be recommended for AI workloads in the near future.

Microsoft targets 8GB RAM PCs with Windows 11 optimizations across four focus areas

Microsoft says Windows 11 will run more smoothly on devices with 8GB RAM, outlining four focus areas for the rest of the year: onboarding/setup to speed up first-time use, memory optimization to shrink the OS footprint, Family Safety features, and improved voice input. The company also plans to move more UI to WinUI for a lighter, faster experience and to keep refining Windows’ major issues as the year progresses.

Roku OS 15.2 Rollout Adds Developer Tools and Performance Boosts

Roku has begun a staged rollout of Roku OS 15.2 to compatible TVs and streaming players. The update focuses on developer-facing improvements—Perfetto-based app tracing with a BrightScript heap graph, the chanperf command for raw CPU stats, new debug protocol variables, and expanded BrightScript APIs for low-memory handling and input control—along with AES-GCM encryption support. End users should see smoother performance, faster app launches, more reliable playback, and better multitasking as the rollout continues over several weeks to a month, with some older devices likely receiving fewer features or updates on a different schedule.
