Windows 11 build 26300.8697 hides a toggle to remove Bing from Search. We tested it hands-on: faster results, cleaner UI, local files first.

Oh, is it fast?.. I doubt it. Still background services sucking up all the ram.

I love how the (mandated) Teams running on the (mandated) win11 work laptop is gobbling A GIGABYTE AND A HALF OF RAM all by itself. What the actual flapping fuck is that?

Teams, like a lot of MS products, uses Edge Webview 2 (an Electron clone). So if you have Teams, and VS Code, and Chrome or Edge running you are running 3 Chromium instances.

on top of that, I'm pretty sure electron apps in the background can't be moved from RAM to Pagefile when they've been idle for a while . . . id imagine edge webview likely works the same

Disabling start up items with system config helps.
