I don't think that is an 8GB RAM issue. I had a client last year but a bunch of the new surface pros with ARM chips, and they had similar hangups with 16GB of RAM. Frankly, those things never worked "right", and I think it's a problem with how Windows emulates x86/x64 apps on them.

8GB of RAM is still not great for Windows 11, but I feel like it's a separate issue.
