Windows 11 brings several design upgrades, but also a very serious performance problem with incredibly high memory usage.
After installing Windows 11, some users started reporting a lot of performance issues.
Η AMD confirmed the performance problem caused by the new function security of Windows 11, but there seems to be another bug caused by Microsoft's redesigned File Explorer (Explorer.exe).
On Reddit and the company's forums, many users complain that their Windows 11 devices use extremely large amounts of memory. Thus the performance of the entire operating system is affected.
The issue seems to be caused by updating Windows 11 File Explorer.
In Windows 11, File Explorer as part of the design overhaul comes with two major changes: the menu of File Explorer has been replaced with a command bar/header that uses the Mica design while the context menu uses the fluent Design.
But these "improvements" in design result in high memory usage by Explorer. The process referred to as "Explorer.exe" in the Task Manager seems to reach 70-99%, and makes non-stop use of the device processor.
As users have noted, File Explorer's memory usage increases every time they open File Explorer. What's particularly annoying about this particular problem is that Microsoft knew about it from Windows Insiders in Dev Channel before Windows 11 is released to everyone.
However, it seems that these reports were ignored and Windows 11 was released with a memory leak error in File Explorer.
But Microsoft says (thankfully) that it is aware of the problem and that it is preparing a fix.
In a post on the Feedback Hub, Microsoft states that "we've included changes to Build 22454 to mitigate some issues that caused leaks while using File Explorer."
Windows 11 Build 22454 was released to Insiders last month, so it's possible that the fix will be included in the next "stable" update channel.
