Windows 11 updates aim to ease memory use on PCs with 8GB of RAM

Gizmodo reports that Microsoft's Windows 11 changes are available in Insider beta, with a full release planned for later in 2026. The updates include the option to move the taskbar to the sides, redesigned Search and Photos apps, and a change that stops widgets from loading automatically on lower-end PCs. Gizmodo says moving the apps away from browser-based components could help reduce memory use.
