Microsoft says Windows 11 KB5101684 makes your PC more reliable, especially on devices with low amounts of system memory: PCs with 8GB RAM or less should feel more responsive (www.windowscentral.com)

8gb of RAM? My phone has 8 gb and can play ZZZ while playing music and chatting on Discord. Windows can't even tell me the weather, Edge won't even open, the screen resolution changed sometimes (mid session) and there's Coslop in the damn text editor. RAM was never the issue, it's the whole OS.

Then RAM isn't your issue. 8GB is just fine if there's not a bunch of bloat.
