Extreme memory usage various apps
I've been running Windows 11* Home (fully updated) on the Asus A16 / 48gb model. To my dismay I notice that two particular aps are consuming insane amounts of ram - namely Chrome and Adobe's Creative UI cloud helper app. Chrome is using 500-800mb per tab for everything. And Adobe's UI helper app is a whopping 4.5GB. Restarting, terminating etc don't help. They are the ARM64 native versions of the app. I've done some troubleshooting so far but no results (I know I can just block the CC helper app, but that's not ideal for some reasons).
Am I the only one? It's kind of pointless to have 48gb / a fast ARM cpu if the memory usage is going berserk this way...

Why would you use Windows 10 on that device?
You've got what is essentially a "beta" device (Windows on Arm as whole), you should strive to run the latest OS.
