Oh, it gets better. Even the default Weather app shipping with Windows 11 is also an Electron pile of trash that uses ~520 MB of RAM. Just let that sink in. 500MB of RAM just to show you the weather forecast for the day and week. That was my entire system RAM of my Windows XP gaming rig.

Same for the Widgets app, it's not only bad because it shows you news and ads when you open it, it's worse because it's also, you guessed it, an Electron app.

Some VP in Redmond must be off their meds.

I assume Microsoft just can't find devs to write C#, their own damn programing language for their own OS, and one of the dozens of frameworks they have for Windows GUI, that they need to resort to using Electron for what are just Windows-only apps.
